Shoot The Trails™ is WMBC's largest fundraiser of the year. We bring the community together by calling for local mountain bike video and photo submissions that are watched live and voted on by the audience. It's always a great time with raffles and beer - we love to see the creativity of our community. There is a kids competition as well!
The top three videos and photos win cash prizes and a swag bucket. Anyone can enter, get your video and photo submissions ready NOW!
