We’re hosting our first Membership Drive throughout the entire month of May — which means new member benefits, special perks for new and upgrading members, and a chance to win some awesome prizes!
Why should you become a member?
Here at AMBC, we work to develop, build, and maintain nearly 100 miles of multi-use trails while offering programming to improve access to outdoor recreation around Knoxville. We have four dedicated Trail Crew members that work on our local trails daily, along with two office staff who focus on programming, fundraising, events, partnerships, and new projects to keep us rolling. And we can’t forget to mention our committed volunteers!
AMBC memberships support all the work we do, keeping the trails in top shape, breaking ground for new ones, and running programs to get more people outside on bikes. It doesn’t stop there — every membership also advocates for trails across the Southeast through our parent organization, SORBA. Our members can take pride in their local and regional trails, knowing they play an active role in keeping them open and thriving.
Take a look at our 2025 accomplishments to learn more about what we did last year by the numbers.

You can also become a member at AMBCKnox.org/Join through the online portal (but you’ll need the app to access your benefits!).
If you are able, please consider annual recurring subscriptions, which help keep us on track with membership fees we can rely on each year.
