why should I take part?

Volunteer groups across South Africa do a lot of great work maintaining trails and conservation infrastructure. Without their dedication and commitment, ordinary trail runners, walkers and mountain bikers wouldn't be able to enjoy our public parks and reserves nearly as much.

Trail Fund Project events offer a fun way of exploring our trails and reinvesting in them directly by empowering the volunteer groups that have a passion and drive to maintain them.

how the event works

1. A public park and its associated volunteer group are selected.
