The MetroParks Trails Challenge returns for 2024 with new trails to hike, cycle, mountain bike, paddle and horseback ride. Participants have until Oct. 31 to check off as many of the 28 trails as they can for a chance to win prizes. Included trails offer a variety of outdoor experiences and range in length, terrain and difficulty. Participation is free. Register here.
Participants can keep track of their progress in real time by using the free MetroParks mobile app, powered by OuterSpatial. MetroParks mobile app can be downloaded by visiting metroparks.org/mobile. Those who wish to keep track by using a Trails Log can download one at metroparks.org/trailschallenge.
Five Rivers MetroParks’ locations are home to 160 miles of natural surface trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The greater Dayton region is home to more than 340 miles of paved recreation trails – the nation’s largest paved trail network – and 270 miles of river corridor.
In 2023, hundreds of participants collectively completed 6,163 trails totaling 11,134 miles of human powered travel – longer than the distance from Antarctica to the United States.
“The Trails Challenge is an opportunity for people of all ages and skill levels to explore trails they might not normally visit,” said outdoor recreation coordinator Jordan Hart. “Participants can do this on their own time and at their own pace, making it accessible for anyone who wants to be active and outdoors. Plus, we have several programs offered throughout the challenge for people to try exploring the trails in ways they may not be able to otherwise, like horseback riding, paddling and mountain biking.”
