No; the hikes/walks must be outdoors.

First and foremost, the hikes/walks must be outdoors!

The hikes/walks need to be with the intention of getting in miles or an adventure for the challenge and not your regular activities that you would be doing regardless of participating in a challenge. Our challenges are not simply to accumulate miles/steps, so do not count your regular activities. As much as we prefer you hike on a dirt trail, we realize that is not always possible. So urban hikes and paved paths are allowed (This does not include neighborhood walks). Our primary goal with our Challenges is to get people outdoors and outside of their own neighborhood/surroundings to enjoy nature while hiking.

1. Paved Paths in Local Parks: These can offer scenic walks through green spaces, often with markers or interpretive signs about local flora, fauna, or history. Examples include riverside trails or paths winding through urban forests.
2. Downtown Walking Tours: Many cities have self-guided walking tours that take you through historic or culturally significant parts of the city. These routes often include landmarks, art installations, and architectural highlights.
3. Rails-to-Trails Paths: These are repurposed railway tracks converted into walking and biking trails. They often traverse both urban and suburban areas, providing long, uninterrupted paths ideal for hiking.
4. Waterfront Promenades: Many cities have developed their waterfront areas with long, paved paths ideal for walking. These can include piers, parks, and sometimes even urban beaches, offering a unique mix of nature and cityscapes.
5. Sculpture Parks or Outdoor Art Trails: These unique urban hikes combine the enjoyment of art with walking. Cities often have parks or designated areas where sculptures and large-scale art installations are displayed outdoors.

Our challenges aren't merely about racking up "Miles/Steps". They're geared towards genuine outdoor hiking experiences. Everyday activities, like strolls to the mailbox or walking to work, or even family outings like visits to Disney, Epcot, zoos, and festivals, should not be counted unless you embarked on them specifically with this challenge in mind. If the activity was something you would have done regardless of participating in the challenge (other than hiking), don't count it! The heart of our Challenges is to encourage participants to venture beyond their local surroundings/neighborhoods and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature through hiking. (All hikes/walks must be outdoors)

No; on the Hiking Challenges you are required to hike, walk or run. Both feet need to be touching the ground one after the other.

Exceptions: In a wheelchair or medical scooter.

For each of the hiking challenges we allow you to backlog to the beginning of the "current month", if you have been logging your hikes.

For The Hiker's 365, if you registered and completed the previous seasonal challenge, we allow you to backlog to the beginning of the previous seasonal challenge. Keep in mind this changes the start date for your 365 days.

Considering you can start tis challenge at anytime and share the miles with the other challenges, we prefer you not backlog the hikes for your 4 legged companion.

One segment of the falls must be at least 5 ft. high and needs to natural, not man-made. It does not have to be a named fall.

Yes. We understand some areas may have a limited number of trails, but do try and explore more options. Use an app such as all trails to find places near by.

For the Seasonal Challenges, registration will close at the end of the first month of the challenge.

For The Hiker's 365 and all 4 Seasonal Challenges, each logged hike needs to be at least 1 mile. You can repeat shorter hikes or combine multiple trails to reach that 1-mile minimum within the same day.

Yes, please join: The Weekend Adventurer

We are a family-owned business; we are not a non-profit.  Both my wife and I are hiker enthusiasts who love the outdoors.  This is our way of not only encouraging others to get outdoors and appreciate nature but a way to give back to the hiking community by planting trees.  We do not give out financial information, but the registration fee covers marketing, the cost of goods, operating expenses, the planting of trees and a lot of love (labor) that goes into it.  Read more about us here.

Absolutely! We have teamed up with onetreeplanted.org to have a tree planted for every completed log sheet we receive. We leave it up to them to determine the location and what type of tree based on the current need.
