SUPPORT

Giving back to the Community, Teams, and Trails we love!

Local Mountain Bike Trail Maintenance / Involvement:
Meet the Triathlon Teams/Clubs that we Sponsor:

  • Meet STL's Premier Elite Triathlon Racing Team, ROCKR Racing. ROCKR Racing was created to advance the sport of Triathlon, establish St. Louis as a breeding ground for Multisport Athletes, and help promote St. Louis pride, culture, products, and companies to a national audience. ROCKR Racing prides itself in supporting unique & passionate athletes who want to share their stories to the local STL community and beyond. ROCKR Racing’s goal is to not just have a presence at the local Triathlon circuit, but win each of the 10 greater St Louis Area Triathlons.
 
  • The ON PACE Triathlon Training Club was established to bring together triathlon and endurance enthusiasts, creating a diverse social network for information sharing, education, training and racing activities, mentoring, and support for goal setting and achievement. They have a training group for all levels, and pride themselves on creating a motivational environment with every club race & activity. This is the largest and most active Triathlon Club in the St Louis Area!
 
  • The High School Tri Club is a non-profit organization whose goal is to help High School kids live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives. They support kids to do Triathlons simply for the camaraderie of training, feeling better, and feeling fulfilled by crossing the finish line, and not to compete against others.

Meet the Mountain Biking Teams that we Sponsor:

  • SBR Racing powered by Ride MO Trails is an elite-amatuer Off-Road Bike Racing Team based in St. Louis, MO. The goal of the Team is simple: Promote the growth of Off-Road Racing in Missouri, and Establish St. Louis as a breeding ground for future generations of Elite riders. SBR Racing powered by Ride MO Trails was founded in 2022 as a way to elevate and give back to Missouri’s Mountain Biking community. For 2023, the Team and its Partners will host The Lost Valley Luau, The Heartbreaker Missouri State XC MTB Championship, and the Dirt Crit XC MTB Series.
 
  • The Rockwood Composite Vipers (NICA) Team provides high-quality, safe and fun mountain bike programs and events for middle and high school students that emphasize the value of participation, camaraderie, positive sporting behavior, and well-being over competition.

Meet the Give-Back Teams we Support:

  • Powered By Hope is a cycling team for Pedal the Cause - a nonprofit foundation dedicated to providing hope, strength, peace and education to cancer patients.  
    "When you hear the words ‘You have Cancer’ you have just entered the greatest race of your life.”
    Our foundation is predicated on H-O-P-E – which stands for – How Ordinary People Endure. There is something unique about sharing a tangible symbol of hope to empower and reassure survivors/fighters that they are not alone, and to take this Journey one day at a time.

  • Bike for MS Crossing the finish line at Bike MS is something we can’t describe – it’s something you have to experience. But we can tell you that you’ll be met with a cheering crowd who will add to your feelings of accomplishment and triumph. Bike MS raises more money than any other cycling event for any other cause - changing the world for people with MS, one mile at a time. Here at SBR we are happy to help make a small dent in the money raised for MS.
