Members Lace Up for the
“Walk the Trails Challenge”

Thousand Trails preserves nationwide are hosting the "Walk the Trails Challenge," a self-guided walking activity sponsored by our nationwide recreation departments. Using the honor system, members pick up a mileage log from the preserve recreation office (or download a .pdf version here) and note the miles walked that day, which is initialed by a park staffer. The miles logged are cumulative and may be carried over from preserve to preserve. Once you reach milestones of 75, 100, and 150 miles, you receive prizes. For the complete rules, read the instructions below, or ask your local recreation staff about the challenge. Have fun walking, and we'll see you out on the trail!
