It's been a busy week for the Hill of Truth Festival/Clinch Valley Trail Alliance volunteer team and we're slowly getting photos and updates pulled together to share with those of you who missed the party. In a nutshell, the event was a huge fundraising success and we thank everyone who participated in the MTB and trail running races, just came to hang out, bought merchandise, purchased raffle tickets or volunteered. We're a small bit mighty organization and we all needed a a bit of a rest. Stay tuned for more info!
Mark your calendars for next year's Hill of Truth Festival: October 7-8, 2023!
