15,000 Miles Campaign: This summer trail season, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is challenging members and supporters to ride, run, walk or skate 15,000 miles by the Fourth of July. Make a personal mileage and gift commitment, and help raise $15,000 to support rail-trail development across the country. How far can you go?

2009 Brita Climate Ride:
When Jenny Nordstrom signed up on Team RTC for the 2008 Brita Climate Ride, she didn't know what to expect. This year, she couldn't wait for her second go on the 300-mile ride to raise awareness for climate change and renewable energy—and to help raise money for RTC's work.
