(Translated by Google) I have always spent a lot of time outdoors in nature, back then always with our dog, who unfortunately can no longer be physically with us, but always in my heart! Through this trail challenge I was pushed a little more to find new paths and corners. I was also very impressed by the outpouring of sympathy from other outdoor friends from all over the world! I will definitely sign up for another challenge because we are not only doing something good for ourselves but also for nature by reforesting new trees! (Original) Ich war schon immer viel draussen in der Natur, damals immer mit unserem Hund unterwegs der nun leider nicht mehr physisch bei uns sein kann, jedoch immer in meinem Herzen! Durch diese Trail challange wurde ich noch ein wenig mehr gepushed neue Wege und Ecken zu finden. Auch diese Anteilnahme von anderen Outdoor freunden aus allen anderen Staaten hat mich sehr beeindruckt! Ich werde auf jeden Fall mich fuer eine weitere Challange einschreiben, denn wir tun nicht nur uns was Gutes sondern auch der Natur durch die Aufforstung neuer Baeume!

These challenges are so great to motivate people to get out and enjoy nature. I have completed 3 challenges so far and have another 3 in the works. The idea that there is a tree planted after each completion is amazing. I do wish I knew where it was planted though. Do they plant the tree in the state I am from or where it is really needed. The support you get from the group is overwhelming. It is such a great group to belong to.

I love the My Adventure Challenges, and I am proud to have completed the 365 and two seasonal challenges. More to come! My Aventure Challenges may seem like something for super hikers. While I'm sure anyone who does a lot of hiking could find enjoyment in this program, it is also a great way for those of us who don't think of ourselves as hikers or who haven't hiked in a long time to have some really wonderful outdoor experiences. Many of my hikes were in urban settings -- some included great public gardens and parks, others took me to previously unexplored neighborhoods. Some were walks through relatively familiar places looking for something new and beautiful. While it was really good for my physical fitness to be committed to these walks, I believe the bigger benefits came on another level. When I first started, it seemed as if I had made an insane commitment that I was bound to fail to complete. But I soon realized that I was wrong-- if you are able to walk you can probably do this. One of the things I especially love about it is that you can do this slowly. It is not racing. It's not competing with other people. (On the contrary, there is a very supportive community available through social media.) You don't have to walk fast. In fact, I really think the point is to get us all to slow down long enough to see and appreciate what's around us. I would be writing a super long review if I told you all of the ways in which I believe my mental and emotional health benefited from these challenges. In highly stressful times, it was so good to step outside, get moving, and remind myself that the universe encompasses so much more beyond everyday troubles, that there is beauty and wonder to behold. It was empowering. And I don't mean I only saw this in places of majestic natural beauty, fine as those are. Often it was a tree in a park or a flower in a garden. Which reminds me of the other reason to do this: trees! Your efforts plant trees. Thousands have been planted through this program. Give it a try! Photos are of a few things I have seen on walks. I promise you there's much more out waiting for you.

Compleated the 75 mile Spring Fling adventure challenge. I found it to motivate me on days I was not sure if I would get out and do a walk. Having the challenge a head of me, encourges me to stay consistent on my outdoor walks. Cost for the challenge is inexpensoive and once compleated, you get a tree planted. Plus you get a very nice certificate which I did not expect, nice surprise. Thank you to My Adventure Challenge LLC.

Excellent supportive community and great customer service.

Just finished my third adventure challenge and have loved doing each one. Especially the K-9 Challenge because I love spending time with my pups. Am looking forward to completing my next challenge. These challenges are great!!!

Got out with hiking partner consistently until total shoulder replacement Dec. 2024. Once able I was back out. Getting dressed for Freezing weather was challenging since shoulder was compromised, but got it done! 126 miles in all. Feeling accomplished! And bonus, a tree is planted.

I have been doing challenges for a year, after retiring at 70. I never really consistently walked or hiked, so the challenges have been a great motivator to keep moving. I am looking forward to continuing for as long as I'm able. Thank you.

This challenge has been so much fun! It has enhanced me physically, mentally and socially. Highly recommend. Also, My Adventure Challenge LLC has awesome, friendly customer service.

This was a great way to get outdoors & do some good hiking. It was so fun to watch the miles add up & work toward my goal. Very neat program & will definitely be doing another challenge.

The Winter 100 Challenge really motivated me to stick with my longer term goal of achieving the 365 Challenge. The little "challenge" that came with signing up seemed to be the extra boost I needed to make hitting those trails a priority throughout the week! I look forward to logging more hours for the next challenge!

Everything was mailed quickly. Fair pricing. Even got a certificate after completing the challange. Will definitely sign up for another one.

This was truly motivating! I’m so glad I signed up. The K9 challenge is completed and we still have 300 miles to go on the Hiker 365 but I know we will finish!

Although I am already an avid hiker, this challenge helped motivate me to explore new places. Planting a tree for me is the best reward!

Although the premise of this challenge is quite simple...order a t-shirt/patch, log your miles, submit the miles when completed, and receive a certificate...it was just enough to keep us motivated to reach our hiking mileage challenges. Extra bonus was keeping fit, seeing pretty country, traveling around to new places, and planting trees when our challenges were complete. This has been most rewarding as we have been able to exceed our own expectations. We have found that our abilities are far greater than expected. This is a highly worthy endeavor for anyone wanting to be active and get out on the trails!!

My husband and I had a great time successfully completing the Winter Challenge. We live in Wisconsin where it is cold the entire Winter Challenge period. The Challenge inspired us to get out and hiking when we would not have done so otherwise.

Great experience completing the Winter 100 Challenge. It kept me moving during the cold, nasty months. Love the fact a tree got planted for my efforts. I'll be doing more Adventure Challenges soon!

A wonderful experience! Continuing the 365 challenge, and looking forward to the spring challenge!

My Adventure Winter Challenge was surprisingly exciting and exhilarating. It was probably good that this was our 4th challenge. Planning the drive and hike in this season with a safe cushion of daylight before sunset helped us focus on our splits in different terrain and conditions. Reduced forage opens up seldom seen views.

This Winter Challenge gave me a specific goal, which I like -and it was a lot of fun!

These challenges help motivate you to GO OUTSIDE! The Winter 100 got me through the Winter Solstice and helped me find great trails near my hometown that I never knew. The administrators are very responsive on the Facebook page.

I loved getting out in the elements that I'm uncomfortable with. This was a great motivator. I look forward to my next challenge.

It was so much fun getting out and hiking with family, friends, and my puppy!

I began hiking this fall with my sister and it has become the love of my life. I am a former bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast but due to health issues I had to slow all the way down. Hiking has brought me peace and joy get outside it will change your life

The My Adventure Challenges have renewed in me my love of hiking and being outdoors. I've rediscovered trails I enjoyed in the past as well as discovering many new trails. As an added bonus I'm rebuilding muscle and losing fat as well as improving my over all health. I originally joined for motivation to just get up and move but I soon had a goal of a HARD overnight hike that I wanted to get into condition for , I'm over 60 and waaaay out of shape so it's taking some miles not mention 1 pair of hiking boots (so far) and a ton of determination. To date I've finished The Fall 50 and just this week The Winter 100 Challenges. Working on my 365 miles in 365 days and looking forward to the upcoming Spring Fling!

I Have completed 3 challenges. It gets you outside and you also get exercise.

I love the hiking challenges! They really make me push myself and keep me going through all of the seasons. They have also created a wonderful online community where people are so supportive!

I really enjoy doing these challenges! I love exploring and finding new places, it's so fun.

This is the second year that I’ve completed the Hiker’s 365 Challenge. It is rewarding!

My Doctor said I needed to walk more for my health. I seen this adventure and it helped me keep motivated to keep walking. Now I’m going for the 365

I so appreciate this 365 day challenge! I loved getting out and hiking in on a fairly regular basis. At times over the year though, I had difficulties with hiking between an injured knee and several trips. However, the challenge kept me motivated, and I was so happy to complete the challenge! I've signed up for it again. Thanks!

My Adventure Challenge has been a great support for me. I signed up for the Hikers 365, I have received uplifting support from everyone. The shirt, hoodie, patch etc are all great quality. I highly recommend anyone struggling to get active to look into this group.

These challenges are fun! More importantly they help us to remember to get out of the office and the house and explore. It is healthy for your mind, body and soul. The Facebook community adds to the fun. I posted many photos during the year but I don't have them in Google Photos so I can't share here. Most importantly, sign up, explore and have FUN!

Great organization. Fabulous hiking accountability! Can’t wait for next year 2025 hikes!

The 365 Challenge was a fun goal and got us out on the trails. We ended up hiking 465 miles in 365 days. We are looking forward to our 2025 hikes!

Me and three of my friends completed the 365 challenge this year. It brought us closer and created a fun way to compete with each other. Some days we walked together and others we tried to out do each other. I recommend this challenge to anyone who loves setting goals.

I really loved this challenge. I started out with a bang sure that I would complete way before the end of the year, but life was life and I didn't finish it till this month! Such a great motivator to get outside.

GREAT hiking this year, have a couple more days to get more trail miles before the year ends. Completed all my challenges this year, just finished the winter challenge and now planning my 2025 backpacking trips, all the trails were great this year, well maintained ( BIG thanks to all the trail volunteers) and well marked, looking forward to 2025 challenges!

What a great program! I started my Challenge on January 1, 2024 hiking with my daughter and husband and finished the Challenge in less than 365 days!

When I told my cancer doctor I accepted a 365 Mile challenge,he suggested I modify my expectations. He was wrong! This has been a wonderful experience, bringing me to areas I never would have explored.

A great hiking community.
