Bringing trails and trail people together regularly to share insights, research and inspiration is an essential requirement to keep trails sustainable, the TRC Sustainable Trails Conference does just that!

Galeo Saintz

Big thanks to all the TRC team for hosting a fantastic conference. A lot of fun was had spending time connecting with industry colleagues, sharing ideas and learning of all the exciting trail projects out there. It reinforced what a great industry we all work in and I look forward to attending again next year.

Fantastic conference that was well organized, hands on and relevant to the growth of the industry, excited for the next one.

The Sustainable Trails Conference 2022 provided access to the world’s leaders across the trails sector and industry. Talking trails, the ups, and downs, and every step in between to plan, develop and maintain world class trail assets. Time to get on the sustainable trail, take that long walk, run, hike or ride, and learn from the best!
