“Become a champion of your trails today!”

Trails are the backbone of the mountain bike community and it’s our goal to provide and preserve appealing trail systems close to home and to protect the natural places we love to ride.

If you’re a mountain biker or individual business you can become IMBA Europe supporter by making a donation. With your help, we can support trail projects of member organisations, provide training, share good practices, run campaigns like Take Care of Your Trails and build capacity for mountain bike advocacy across Europe.

IMBA Europe is a collective of MTB advocacy groups, trail associations, trail builders, MTB regions and bicycle industry partners.  As an umbrella organisation, cooperation through memberships and partnerships are key to our success and the most efficient and effective way to achieve our goals and ensure our efforts are positive and long-lasting.

Europe has several national mountain bicycling associations whose mission it is to safeguard trail access, promote sustainable trail development, volunteer stewardship and stimulate recreational mountain biking on the national level.
