21 years in the making! Let's keep the momentum going and roll into 2025 stoked for the growth and evolution of SORBA Chattanooga!  

For over 20 years, SORBA Chattanooga has operated as an all volunteer organization. In those 20 years, we have either constructed, or supported the construction of, over 160 miles of trails within 30 minutes of downtown. In addition to trails, SORBA Chattanooga has partnered with organizations like White Oak Bike Co-op, Lula Lake Land Trust, the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County to build a strong mountain biking community that boasts over 450 members.

In order to keep the stoke going, the SORBA Chattanooga Board of Directors has decided to hire a full time, paid, Executive Director to lead the organization into the future. This person will continue to push the needle to steward our amazing trails while continuing to expand the mountain biking community around town.

Through a generous grant from the Lyndhurst Foundation, SORBA Chattanooga has received $50,000 to kickstart this adventure. Now we need your help to double that money through the matching portion of the grant. For every dollar you donate, the Lyndhurst Foundation will generously give another dollar.

This funding will help us support partnerships with fantastic organizations like White Oak Bike Co-op, Two Bikes Chattanooga, and Catalyst Sports, all of which work to connect and amplify the mountain biking community. Additionally, it will enable us to hire a team of full-time staff who will advocate for and maintain our local trails.

Please help us in our mission to make Chattanooga an amazing mountain biking community for visitors and locals alike!

Help support the future of mountain biking in Chattanooga!

SORBA Chattanooga has been creating amazing mountain biking experiences in Chattanooga and its surrounding areas since 2003.

Since the organizations inception in 2003, SORBA Chattanooga has been focused on improving and maintaining trail access opportunities for local outdoor athletes. In 2004, SORBA Chattanooga developed the Singletrack Mind Initiative and set out to increase access from the 7 miles of mountain bike accessible trails in our community to a total of 100 miles within the greater Chattanooga area, a lofty goal indeed. 

Over the years, SORBA Chattanooga and area land managers have worked hard to complete that goal and it has recently been achieved. In 2023, there are 160+ miles of mountain bike accessible trails within 30 minutes of downtown Chattanooga thanks to the efforts of SORBA Chattanooga and area land managers!

In addition to expanding area trails, SORBA Chattanooga contributes thousands of hours of trail work each year to maintain and expand area trails, with an average year exceeding 1,000 volunteer hours. 

All of this effort has made the Chattanooga region recognized as one the premier destinations for mountain biking in the Southeast, driving significant tourism dollars into our area and helping to generate economic growth for the community by attracting new business and community members.
