Help Us

We work hard to provide an awesome, well-maintained park and host exciting events — and none of it would be possible without our dedicated volunteers. Many hands make light work, and we’re always looking for enthusiastic people to join the team.

What You Get from Volunteering

• Meet and connect with like-minded riders and club members
• A sense of achievement after clearing, building, or repairing a trail
• Learn new skills in trail maintenance, event support, and safety
• Be part of a community that keeps mountain biking thriving in Gladstone
• Early access to club events and rides in some cases

Volunteering is fun, rewarding, and a great way to give back to the trails and community you love.

• Event Support: setup, marshalling, registration, and logistics for club rides and competitions

• Behind the Scenes / Administration: helping with social media, communications, and general club operations

• Committee & Planning: attending meetings, contributing ideas, and helping guide club activities
