Suporrting trails and routes around the Coquet Valley

About Coquet Valley trails.

As a not-for-profit, we have three key tenets:

• Provide inclusive off-road cycling opportunities for people of the Coquet Valley;

• Maintain, manage and in the right place create trails;

• Act as a catalyst for economic opportunities within Rothbury and the surrounding area while protecting nature. 

The Coquet Classic event fulfilled all three of these key tenets; however, as a not-for-profit with no employees, the workload is not sustainable in the long term, both financially and practically.

We want to keep the event entry fee for the Coquet Classic as low as possible to enable participation.

To do this, we need sponsorship and funding.  Any profits generated will be reinvested into the community, and we will publish our accounts yearly.

You will soon be able to donate to Coquet Valley Trails via the link below.

This money will be used to:

• Train Volunteers in trail building leadership through formal courses

• Cover trail building public, and employers’ liability (This is separate to event insurance)

• Pay for tools

• Pay contractors when our internal skills won’t suffice (For example, tackling windblown timber or grading accessible paths)

• Fund opportunities for children and those who may not be able to access mountain biking easily
