Our goal is to help preserve what makes Sequatchie Valley and the South Cumberland Plateau such a special place, and there is no better organization to further that cause than the Land Trust for Tennessee. Since 1999, they have conserved more than 126,000 acres across our beautiful state, and have made this region a priority for future conservation efforts. As the event's beneficiary, we look forward to working together to protect our natural and historic landscapes, both public and private, to make scenic Southeast Tennessee a better place to live, work and play!

This event would not be possible without the generosity of our hosts at the City of Dunlap and the Sequatchie County - Dunlap Chamber of Commerce. Big thanks to all of the communities throughout the Valley and Plateau for their support in making Cycle Sequatchie happen!

While Citizens Tri-County Bank has grown to serve 9 counties throughout southeast and middle Tennessee, it remains locally owned and operated just as it was when it was founded in Dunlap in 1972.

Dessert's on them!
