At Trail Builder Magazine, we’re not just publishing a magazine—we’re building a community. Our new 2025 Media Kit is about more than advertising; it’s about connecting your brand with the passionate, dedicated trail builders who make mountain biking possible. Not only that, but as I shared from the outset of launching this magazine, my goal is transparency. Even if you’re not a potential advertiser, you can see what our rates are.

With the release of our summer magazine issue, our focus has now turned towards our fall issue. We have another great batch of articles and stories to share this fall! This magazine is truly a community project, not only in writers and photographers but also brands helping bring this magazine to print with essential ad support.

I want to speak directly to brands, whether you sell mountain bikes, components, tools, services, or more. I (Sean) have been working with Melanie (our new Marketing Director) to refine and improve our Media Kit and provide new pathways for brands to showcase their products and services to our growing (and passionate) followers and fanbase.

Why is this important?
