Oct. 4 the off-road community in and around Prescott came together for something bigger than the trails themselves. The annual Trails 4 Tatas, created and hosted by Summit 4X4 Company and led by the Summit 4X4 Club leaders, Laurie Cwikla and Victor Torres, has become one of the area’s most anticipated community fundraisers.
It raised more than $100,000 this year.
The event is a celebration of adventure, strength and compassion that brings off-roaders, families and businesses together to raise money and awareness for those battling breast cancer. All proceeds from Trails 4 Tatas go directly to the YRMC Baskin Breast Care Center in Prescott Valley and serve patients throughout Yavapai County.
The funds help provide essential resources like medical expenses, wigs, child care, meals and transportation to appointments.
This year’s event featured four trail runs, each offering a unique experience and level of challenge for participants.
• Bannie Mine Trail: A classic local favorite with tight turns, rocky climbs and plenty of history woven through the old mining terrain.
• The V-Notch: A more technical route that tested drivers’ precision and control, perfect for those looking for a little extra adrenaline.
• Skull Valley to Copper Basin: Known for its sweeping views and mix of terrain, this run offered a great balance of fun and exploration.
• Skyline Drive: A scenic route perfect for families and newer off-roaders, filled with beautiful views of the Prescott area.
After a fun morning on the trails, participants participated in lunch, followed by raffles and auctions. The tables were stacked high with prizes donated by generous sponsors and brands from across the off-road industry.
The lunch, donated by Jersey Mike’s, was a huge hit and a reminder of the support local businesses provide to this event every year. Volunteers served hundreds of meals while participants swapped trail stories and laughed about the morning’s adventures.
Thanks to our title sponsor Findlay Toyota of Prescott, and every single one of our generous donors, we hit a new fundraising milestone for Trails 4 Tatas. We would also like to recognize Novus Glass of Northern Arizona and Culver’s of Prescott for joining us as top-level sponsors and for their continued support of this cause.
