About Evergreen.
Washington's largest mountain bike organization, since 1989. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit powered by riders, for riders.
01 / Our Story
Built by riders.
For riders.
Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the nation's largest statewide mountain bike association. Through nine regional chapters, we serve thousands of riders across Washington — from the Olympic Peninsula to the Methow Valley to Spokane.
We were founded in 1989 by a small group of riders who wanted to make sure mountain biking had a future on Washington's public lands. Thirty-seven years later, we've built or maintain over 850 miles of trail, contribute 29,000 volunteer hours a year, and remain the primary trail-building, advocacy, and education voice for mountain biking in the state.

Lead the Way.
It takes a massive community to keep Washington's trail networks running. Whether you want to get dirty on the trail or lend your professional talents behind the scenes, we have a place for you. No matter how you choose to give back, you're helping protect the dirt we all love.
On the Dirt: Trail Volunteers
No experience required. Just show up with water, gloves, and snacks—we'll provide the tools, safety gear, and instruction. From clearing overgrown brush to shaping sweet new berms, the trail you work on today is the one you'll be riding next month.
Find a Volunteer Day →Behind the Scenes: Chapter & Admin Support
Put your unique skills to work. Running ten chapters across the state takes more than just shovels. We are always looking for passionate people to help grow and support their local mountain biking communities. If you have skills in any of these areas, we need your help:
Creative & Communication
Photography, videography, graphic design, and social media marketing.
Operations & Leadership
Project management, event planning, and local chapter leadership.
Professional Services
Accounting, advocacy, community outreach, and legal/administrative support.
