WHEN:  June 1–30, 2026

TIME: Any time

WHERE: Any trail

Last year, thanks to our generous business sponsors and our trail-loving community, we raised $100,000 for our local trail system! We were so inspired, we believe that—together—we can do it again! Join our 11th annual Summer Trails Challenge as we aim to raise $100,00, we’re aiming for a repeat!

How it Works

From June 1-30, track and log your hiking, walking, biking, and running trail miles to help us reach our goal of 100,000 miles. Each mile logged on a trail during the 11th annual Summer Trails Challenge will earn GVLT a $1 donation from the Sponsor Match Pool, funded by some of your favorite local businesses. 

Become a Summer Trails Challenge Sponsor

We invite you to help us raise $100,000 for our trail system. As a Summer Trails Challenge sponsor, you are aligning your business with one of the region’s most respected community organizations, demonstrating to your employees and your customers that you are committed to protecting the quality of life that we all enjoy.

The Summer Trails Challenge can create or enhance a culture of wellness within your company. Participants can log miles on behalf of any sponsor, encouraging your people to hit the trails! You can also create a challenge within your business, utilizing the sponsor-only team option.
