Trail Builder Magazine Subscriptions Are Here — And They’re About More Than Just a Magazine
A few years ago, Trail Builder Magazine was just an idea scribbled in the margins of a notebook after a long day shooting photos at a trail work party. I remember it clearly—sitting back at my van, soaked, boots caked in mud, coffee in hand.
In that quiet moment, it hit me: the stories of trail builders—the real, gritty, inspiring ones—deserve a place to live. That’s where this all started.
Since then, Trail Builder Magazine has grown into something much more than a publication. It’s become a platform to elevate the people, places, and passion behind the trails we ride and build. And now, we’re taking the next step: offering magazine subscriptions.
But this isn’t about selling magazines—it’s about sustaining a movement.
Why Subscriptions Matter
Subscribing to Trail Builder Magazine isn’t just about getting fresh issues delivered to your inbox or mailbox (though that’s part of it). It’s about helping build a community-driven resource that exists because of the people who care about trails.
Here’s what subscribers receive:
Exclusive Industry Discounts from partner brands who support the work you do.
Monthly Virtual Meetups with trail pros, community leaders, and fellow subscribers.
Behind-the-Scenes Content including interviews, pro tips, and features you won’t find anywhere else.
But more than that, your subscription helps fund the work it takes to keep this magazine going—paying contributors, covering stories, and creating resources for the community.
The Next Chapter in Our Story
This new subscription model is a big step for us. It marks a shift—from a passion project fueled by spare hours and coffee—to a community-supported platform with real staying power.
Every subscription means we can continue:
Telling the stories that often go unheard
Hosting conversations that shape the future of trail building
You’re not just subscribing to a magazine. You’re investing in a shared vision—one where trail builders, volunteers, and advocates have a seat at the table.
Help Us Build What’s Next
We’re proud of how far Trail Builder Magazine has come, but this next chapter depends on all of us. When you subscribe, you’re not just saying, “I read this.” You’re saying, “I believe in this.”
Ready to be part of the journey? Subscribe today and help build more than just trails—help build the future of trail building.
