Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists

MORC is dedicated to safeguarding the future of mountain biking in Minnesota through the promotion of responsible riding, establishment and maintenance of mountain biking trails, and preservation of Minnesota's natural resources.

MORC works with local government agencies and land managers to build and maintain environmentally sound and properly built mountain bike trails, sticking as closely to International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) guidelines as possible.

In the fall of 2009, MORC entered into a closer relationship with IMBA, becoming one of a small group of official chapters, however in the spring of 2017, MORC split from IMBA.

MORC and its chapters maintain a select number of popular mountain bike trails in Minnesota. Here is a brief list of the more popular trails:

• Lebanon Hills
• Murphy Hanrehan Park
• Theodore Wirth Park
• Battle Creek
• Minnesota River Bottoms

MORC publishes a quarterly newsletter titled Off-Road.

While MORC no longer has chapters, it continues its support and relations with the following groups:

• BLAST
• Cuyuna Lakes
• Minneapolis Offroad Cycling Advocates (MOCA)
• Mid-Minnesota Cycling Club

• Official website
• MORC MOU with 3RPD
• Minneapolis Parks: Wirth Park
