What clubs do

A club turns a vehicle into a calendar. Day runs, weekend trips, training days, garage nights, and a list of people who will come and get you.

Most clubs offer

  1. 01Organized runs and trips at different levels
  2. 02Training days for new members
  3. 03Trail maintenance and clean-ups
  4. 04A voice in local land-use planning
  5. 05Help, tools and advice

How to find the right one

Go on a run as a guest before you pay dues.

  1. 01Decide between a club built around one make and one open to anything.
  2. 02Ask about the pace and style: family camping, technical trails, long-distance travel.
  3. 03Ask what the dues pay for.
  4. 04Watch how they treat the newest driver on a run.

Why clubs matter

Routes stay open because someone shows up. Clubs that adopt trails, clear them after winter and take part in land-use planning are a large part of why there is still somewhere to drive.

Questions people ask

Do I need a certain vehicle?

Some clubs are built around one make. Many are open to anything with four-wheel drive and a willingness to learn.
