TAKE THE CHALLENGE


It's time to hit the trails and participate in the 2019 Montgomery County Trail Challenge! The Montco Trail Challenge will run May 4 - December 1, 2019.

ENJOY THE TRAILS AND PARKS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY TRAIL CHALLENGE!

Montgomery County boasts over 92 miles of trails that connect greenways, waterways, and heritage. Most Montgomery County residents are located within a few miles of a wonderful trail experience!

To participate, simply pick up or print a Montco Trail Challenge card and register below. Visit any of the 13 participating Montco trails and look for special trail markers located at the trail’s main points of entry (trail heads). Record each unique symbol from the trails you visit on your trail challenge card. In addition to the listed parks and trails, use the two free spaces to visit any park, trail, or historic site of your choosing to earn credit towards an achievement level.

Once you have visited as many trails as you can, return your completed trail challenge card to any of the listed parks or submit your findings online.

You do not have to walk, run or bike the entire trail to get credit for the challenge – just visit and enjoy to earn your recognitions!
