17TH ANNUAL AMBC FALL FEST

Fall Fest is AMBC’s annual homecoming — a celebration of trails, community, and the people who make it all happen. Each year, folks from across the country (and even around the world!) come together in Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness for group rides, live music, local food, beer, a massive raffle, and one of the best silent auctions!

It’s more than just a party, it’s our biggest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds support AMBC’s mission to build, maintain, and advocate for trails while expanding access to the outdoors through key programs like our new Trail Blazers, Joy Ride, Monthly Work Parties, Volunteer Sawyers, and our Trail Crew.

We offer free camping onsite, and the weekend is a chance to reconnect with old friends, welcome new faces, and celebrate the trails that connect us all.

Whether you’re showing up to ride, volunteer, dance, or just hang out — Fall Fest is for you!!!

Trail Blazers Spring 2026 Registration Closes

Trail Blazers is an 8-week program for 3rd–5th graders that blends on and off-bike games, trail exploration, and mentorship. It’s not about racing — it’s about building confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of the outdoors. Each session emphasizes play and connection while building real-world bike skills.

Trail Blazers is growing! We will operate programs at BOTH Baker Creek Preserve (South Knox) and Concord Park (West Knox) in the spring of 2026. Both programs will run from 5-7 pm on Tuesdays from March 24 through May 12. Registration opens January 12th and closed February 24, or when program spots are filled.

Trail Blazers is back for its second season, and it’s GROWING! We’re offering two locations this spring — Baker Creek and Concord. The programs will run 5-7 pm every Tuesday from March 24 through May 12.

Registration opens Monday, January 12. We have limited space (20 kids per location), so sign up ASAP to secure a spot!

2025 By The Numbers

We’re so grateful for this past year — all the people we connected with, programs we led, trails we maintained — the list goes on. It’s been a big year as we’ve transitioned to SORBA membership, and we even added a team member (welcome, Jenny!) to AMBC.

Check out our 2025 By The Numbers to see the impact we made. We couldn’t have done it without your support.

Give us a boost for 2026 by donating today. Your generosity directly supports our mission, local programs, and trails we all love, and it will help us get a great start in the new year.
