- Gifts await you! You'll receive a gift just for signing up and a gift for successfully completing the trails challenge. However, the best gifts are the endless benefits you'll receive from feeling better, becoming more physically fit and having explored and enjoyed miles and miles of awesome regional trails.
- Keep it going! Once you finish your first five trails, you can start right in on your second five. Those who finish five more additional trails and submit a second log and evaluation will also receive a gift. Re-registration is required, phone only 408-355-2268.
