Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship, Santa Cruz Bicycles, and Juliana Bicycles are teaming up to raise funds for local trail stewardship and give away two bikes to two winners.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIF. – Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship (SCMTS), a 501(c)(3) trail stewardship organization, announced their latest sweepstakes to support trails. This year, for the first time ever, the nonprofit teamed up with the folks at Santa Cruz Bicycles and Juliana Bicycles to give away TWO bikes at once. Up for grabs is a Santa Cruz 5010 XO AXS ($7,999) and a Juliana Furtado XO1 ($7,199). Funds raised from this sweepstakes will go directly towards SCMTS’ Timeless Trails work throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains. The giveaway closes on Tuesday, October 3 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Interested parties can enter to win here.

Now three years into the program, Santa Cruz Bicycles’ PayDirt program helps fund 36 projects across 7 different countries. From trails to pump tracks and more—PayDirt is leaving its mark on outdoor recreation across the globe.

PayDirt is deeply engrained into SCMTS’ projects within the Santa Cruz Mountains and has been for years. Staff members from Santa Cruz Bicycles volunteered to help build the legendary Flow Trail in 2013, and the brand’s supported Dig Days on Emma McCrary Trail in 2019 (pictured below), new trails at Cotoni-Coast Dairies, and paved pump track on the Westside of Santa Cruz.

“We’re beyond stoked that Santa Cruz and Juliana are combining forces to support SCMTS through our PayDirt program…” said Katie Zaffke of PayDirt. “I know a lot of us over here at the office are excited to see SCMTS’ current projects come to life so it’s great to see the tangible support that these sweepstakes can offer. I can’t wait to hand off the bikes to the lucky winners!”

SCMTS has set a lofty fundraising goal of $100,000 for this campaign and the first $50,000 donated will be matched thanks to a generous donors. All contributions will support the nonprofit’s efforts to:

  • Build 9 miles of bike-friendly trails within a National Monument at Cotoni-Coast Dairies

  • Steward over 60 miles of trails like U-Con Trail, Flow Trail, and Wilder Ranch State Park

  • Offer trails programs like Dig Days, National Trails Day, Trail Academy, & more

  • Continue fire relief efforts at local State Parks like Big Basin

“It’s a busy, and exciting time, for trails in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We’re a part of several different public projects in various stages of development, some of which are years in the making, so this giveaway comes at perfect timing. It’s fantastic to see Santa Cruz and Juliana take their support to the next level and offer up two bikes this year. Sweepstakes like this have the ability to make a big difference, plus we get to give away brand new bikes to trail supporters!” said Matt De Young, Executive Director of SCMTS.
