Opening Day for Trails 2015: A Success!
Walkers, runners, birdwatchers, bicyclists, horseback riders, nature lovers, history buffs…more than 17,000 people turned out across America this Saturday for Opening Day for Trails! Wow!
Do you want to know the reason why this year’s Opening Day went so well? First, our partners across the country hosted fantastic events that engaged their communities and introduced local residents to their trails. Secondly, we worked with remarkable sponsors, including REI, Fuji Bikes, Yakima Racks and Clif Bar, who supported us at every step in the road.
But what was the most integral element to the success of Opening Day? YOU, of course.
You fixed your bike up weeks in advance, packed up your kids, braved the elements and joined the celebration. And we can’t thank you enough! You showed how much Americans value their trails and how vital trails are to communities from coast to coast.
So, with the power vested in me, I officially deem this year’s Opening Day for Trails a gigantic success.
