Chattanooga’s chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association and the Tennessee Valley Authority won a national award today for their partnership in creating 17 miles bike trails on Raccoon Mountain.
The organizations received the 2010 National Partnership Award from American Trails, a nonprofit that works to protect and enhance the nation’s network of trail,s according to a news release.
The Raccoon Mountain trails run around a 528-acre reservoir that is part of the utility’s pumped storage generating plant.
SORBA Chattanooga and TVA worked hand-in-hand to get the mountain biking and hiking trail system system over the last several years.
