HOW IT WORKS

The Metroparks Trail Challenge allows you to enjoy the parks and meet your trail goals. This is a fun way to explore the Metroparks trails and stay active outdoors on your own time and at your own pace.

The Trail Challenge will run from May 1 to October 31. Register by October 24, to visit all 13 Metroparks to hit the designated Challenge Trails to upload your selfies on the online leaderboard to earn incentives. The cost to participate is $25 per person.

NEW this year – we have upgraded our leaderboard experience so that you will submit your Challenge Trail forms while you are standing in front of Challenge Trail kiosks and the leaderboard will update immediately to show your progress!

Now for the best part … the incentives!

With your paid registration you will receive a custom blanket and passport with information on the Metroparks and challenge trails.

But you can earn more! When you visit all 13 parks and hit a designated Challenge Trail, you’ll earn additional incentives. These trails have a specific kiosk along them, where you take a selfie to upload to the leaderboard. Each Challenge Trail you visit earns you a special badge on the online leaderboard.

Earn 3 badges and you will receive a custom Metroparks tote bag. Earn all 13 badges you will receive a 2025 Metroparks Annual Vehicle Pass so you can keep exploring the trails for another year. Additional earned incentives are mailed out in November.
