With Hurricane Isaias RSVP’ing on Saturday, we are moving the party to Friday!
October 9, 2026
Monte Sano State Park Bikers Lot Pavilion
Group rides, races, games, silent auction, RAFFLE, vendors, music, food, swag, and MORE!
Our Why
Every dollar raised during Fall Fest directly powers our trail projects for the coming year. Sponsorships, food donations, and silent auction items allow us to focus directly on building and maintaining multi-use trails across North Alabama throughout 2027. HAMR volunteers consistently log over 2,000 hours of trail maintenance annually, keeping our local networks safe, clear, and rideable.
Registration
This year’s HAMR fest is FREE to attend! Please register so we can know you’re coming, you can buy a t-shirt!
Entry fee into Monte Sano State Park will also be required. There will be an attendant at the pay booth to collect your money. If you are a Huntsville area local and do not have an annual pass, we strongly recommend purchasing one.
