We’re honored to share that Trails Have Our Respect (THOR)—alongside our project partners at the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) and Omaha Parks & Recreation

Big improvements are coming to Swanson Park, thanks to a collaborative effort with the City of Bellevue — complete with a centralized trailhead hub featuring a new kiosk, updated trail map, benches, and native landscaping.

For more than a decade, volunteer Kyle Hansen has helped shape, repair, and reimagine the singletrack many of us ride today.

We’re thrilled to share that the REI Cooperative Action Fund has awarded $15,000 to Trails Have Our Respect in support of our mission.

Trail work isn’t glamorous — it’s sweaty, gritty, and deeply satisfying. The REI Omaha team knows that every hour spent directly impacts the rider, hiker, or runner who hits that trail.

Trail professionals, park leaders, and community members from across Nebraska came together for the 2025 THOR–IMBA Trail Care School.

What a weekend! THOR’s booth at the Missouri River Outdoor Expo was packed from start to finish—over 300 kids and families got fitted with helmets, hopped on bikes, and rode our All-Skills Track with smiles that stretched for miles.

Executive Director Community Updates: The goals are clear: Outside for all, movement in nature for everyone, common ground for our communities.

The finished reroute delivers exactly what riders love — a fun, flowy trail experience with minimal pedaling, smooth sight lines, and wide, gentle berms. Designed to meet trail industry best practices, it’s welcoming for new riders while still keeping things exciting for seasoned enthusiasts.

Meet the man behind Manawa! Todd Grassman is putting in big hours to keep this beginner-friendly trail alive and fun for everyone.

Why you’ll love volunteering: It’s the ultimate win-win—you help others while gaining something for yourself. You meet new people, build friendships, and pick up new skills.
