Overview

Mission

Volunteers assist in coordinating in various recreational activities sponsored by this organization.

What it reported doing in 2025

They are designed to welcome mountain bike riders and racers from accross the state of Colorado, allowing them to race a challenging course in a scenic setting. Canon city has a growing and robust network of trails. These are designed to welcome hiking and biking for people from the local area as well as across the state of Colorado.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
