The International Mountain Biking Association has selected Winona as a host site for two upcoming community workshops, and the first will be held May 7-8, 2025. Foundations are in-depth workshops designed to catalyze the next generation of great places to ride mountain bikes. Attendees will learn what it takes to create a model trail community and return home with the knowledge and guidance for how to make it happen. Attendees also get a firsthand look at components of an intentional and diverse mountain bike trails community through field visits.
Individuals best-suited to attend the workshops are land managers, community officials, recreation professionals and tourism/economic development staff. In addition to helping you understand the benefits of trails and the experiences desired by mountain bikers, we will provide the knowledge you need to get started making great trails happen locally and help you identify the next steps needed to bring more trails to your own backyards.
Registration is now open for the May 2025 Foundations workshop. Visit Winona looks forward to welcoming this passionate group of changemakers to our region and showcasing the growth and support of outdoor recreation in Winona.
