WST Reconditioning Project
With the announcement of the WSTF Action Plan, many supporters of the Western States Trail have expressed interest in helping with trail repair and upkeep. We’ve been touched by offers of time and money. We can use the help and would love to have it.
So, let’s get it done!
WSTF Action Plan
The WSTF BOG joins the entire endurance community in grieving the accidents that occurred at this year’s Ride. We are committed to reducing the likelihood of future accidents and improving potential outcomes. To that end, we have identified two key areas on which to focus our time and resources.
In Memoriam
