50 Miles for 50 Years

2024 Trail Challenge


We’re still riding the high of celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2023. Join us in 2024 as we commemorate five decades of conservation with an exciting, do-it-yourself trail challenge.

Explore the region’s public lands, preserves, parks and trail systems, track your progress and achieve personal goals.

It’s free to join the challenge, and each participant who completes 50 miles between April 1 and August 31 will receive a commemorative vinyl decal.
