The #TrailChallenge has been the extra nudge I needed to get outside and move more. It has pushed me well past 10,000 steps on many days while exploring parks I never would have visited otherwise. My dog, Hattie, has loved the adventure, and I’ve enjoyed sharing the experience with family and friends. The Metroparks truly are hidden treasures, and the challenge has given me a reason to discover them one by one. I have visited 5 parks so far, and planning on the other 8 by the end of summer 2026!
