BFGoodrich Accepting Entries for its ‘Outstanding Trails Program’

Michelin North America Inc.’s BFGoodrich brand is accepting nominations from March 28-July 15 for its 2016 Outstanding Trails program in association with 4 Wheel Parts.

The Outstanding Trails program promotes sustainable and responsible off-road driving and awards grants of $4,000 each to four off-road clubs in North America for maintenance or refurbishing of select trails. Trails are selected based on uniqueness, terrain type and enthusiast support. Grant money will go toward preserving and protecting the winning clubs’ hometown trails, according to BFGoodrich.

This is the program’s 11th year and BFGoodrich will also collaborate with the United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA), Blue Ribbon Coalition and the Off Road Business Association for the program.

Since the program started more than $150,000 in grants has been awarded to support trail conservation efforts.

To nominate a local trail, visit BFGoodrich’s website at bfgoodrichtires.com/outstandingtrails. The three winning trails will be announced at Off Road Expo in October.
