Ways to Get Involved
The Fall Line has the potential to reshape the way people travel, play, and connect with their communities and each other.
Potential to Transform the Region
The Fall Line has the potential to reshape the way people travel, play, and connect with their communities and each other. The trail will meet unmet demand for regional connections between communities and local infrastructure for active movement, and provide a wide range of public benefits – from health and safety to economic development and sustainability. The Fall Line has the same transformative potential as the Razorback Regional Greenway in Northwest Arkansas, the Atlanta Beltline, the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, and the Joe Louis Greenway in Detroit.
Events & Volunteer Opportunities
Annual RVA Bike Month
Established in 2014, each year Sports Backers hosts RVA Bike Month, a large-scale grassroots calendar of volunteer-led events to highlight bike/ped advocacy. Volunteer events to raise awareness for the Fall Line often include happy hour informational sessions, bike tours, turnout at public hearings, and more. More info at www.rvabikemonth.com – each year’s calendar goes live in April for a month of events each May.
Green Streets Team
Sports Backers hosts a quarterly service program to promote volunteerism and Fall Line awareness along the 43-mile corridor. Launched in 2024, each quarter we will partner with a community group, organization, or institution to lead a cleanup, planting, art installation, or other service project to get volunteers out on the Fall Line.
Fall Line Trailblazer
Every October, Sports Backers hosts a Fall Line Trailblazer event to continue growing awareness of and support for this game-changing trail. The annual Trailblazer events have included a series of guided hikes along sections of the Fall Line, free pop-up events, scavenger hunts, and more. Visit the Sports Backers website to learn more about this year’s event.
