The Trail Challenge is back! This time it's not about the miles, it's about discovering all of the hiking trails the Champaign County Forest Preserves has to offer. Everyone has their favorite(s), the ones they hike all the time, but did you know that there are 30 trails throughout the preserves? To give you time to get out and about, this year's Trails Challenge will run from Saturday, June 1 through Sunday, December 1, 2024 - that's plenty of time to discover 30 trails! You can do it!
Visit 5 new trails each month to be entered in drawings to win prize baskets!
What you need to do:
You can use this trail tracker sheet to keep track of the trails you've visited. Download the sheet and insert your selfies into it, then email your sheet to us at [email protected].
