Digging Deeper with the Sturdy Bitches: Giving Back to the Trails that Give Us Everything
The Sturdy Bitches do more than ride — they dig deep. Through monthly Dig Days and community-driven care, they’re helping build Raging River’s next trail.
Every great ride begins with a great trail — and no one knows that better than the Sturdy Bitches.
Organizers of the legendary Sturdy Dirty Enduro, the Sturdy Bitches come together for more than just race day. Through a powerful partnership with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, their commitment to giving back runs deep — and it’s reshaping the trail community, one Dig Day at a time.
Sturdy Dirty Dig Days have become a monthly tradition where racers, riders, and volunteers roll up their sleeves to shape the trails we all rely on. These hands-on events are about building a legacy of safer, more enjoyable rides and fostering community ownership of the spaces we love.
“These trails are our home course. We ride them, race them, and we’re proud to maintain them.”
— Jessica Mavica, Vice President, Cascades to Sound Chapter, and Sturdy Dirty Enduro Organizer
This community-centered stewardship is at the heart of Evergreen’s work — and it’s what makes GiveBIG so essential.
Right now, the Cascades to Sound Chapter is raising $10,000 to build Trail E, a brand-new intermediate trail at Raging River — one of the state’s most beloved, most ridden systems. With growing demand and increasingly worn trail segments, we need to expand the network to support riders of all levels.
Your donation to GiveBIG makes this happen.
When you GiveBIG today, you’re directly funding:
- New trail construction at Raging River (Trail E is land manager–approved and shovel-ready!)
- Continued care for the Eastside’s most-used trail network
- The culture of volunteerism and stewardship that makes it all sustainable
This work is only possible because of generous donors like you. Whether you’ve raced the Sturdy Dirty, cheered on friends, or just enjoyed a quiet ride through mossy forests — you’ve experienced what this community builds.
Now it’s your turn to build something back.
Give today. Expand the trails. Support the ride.
