Membership

 
 

WHY does membership matter?

Your membership dues go directly back into the trails you ride every day at locations including Monte Sano State Park, the Land Trust of North Alabama trail systems, the City of Huntsville’s John Hunt Park and Oak Park, the Space and Rocket Center, Redstone Arsenal, and more! HAMR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run organization. We pay no staff, and work hard as volunteers to make big things happen for the community! We also support local youth organizations with our own Tuesday Night Kids Rides, and monetary support to local ACA and youth development teams for mountain biking.

 

We are 500+ members strong, but we know the community of mountain bikers in the Huntsville area is much larger than that - we’d love to have your support so we can do more to give back to our trails and our community!

What’s in it for me?

HAMR members enjoy a wide range of discounts, perks, and ways to connect thanks to generous partners. BUT, the biggest perks are a diverse, engaged community and BETTER TRAILS CLOSE TO HOME THANKS TO YOU!

Active membership is about so much more than paying an annual fee. As with many things in life, the more you put in, the more you’ll get out of your membership. We run on volunteer power, so the more volunteers we have at work days, rides, events, etc., the better and bigger they become! All paying members receive the following benefits:
