How it started
In November 2021, we marked a milestone as the city of Sioux Falls extended FAST’s capacity through an updated usage agreement, empowering us to enhance and maintain the trail network within Great Bear Park. This pivotal move opens up new opportunities for our trail-loving community to enjoy and contribute to the growth of our local trails.
Fast forward to December 2022, and FAST's commitment to excellence in trail development was recognized on a global scale. We were thrilled to receive grant funding from the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) Trail Accelerator Grant program. This funding is a game-changer, enabling us to bring trail concept and design plans to life at Great Bear, ensuring our trails are not only fun but also strategically and sustainably developed to enrich your outdoor experiences.
