Wissahickon Valley Park's All Trails Challenge Starts Aug 8

PHILADELPHIA — Hikers, runners, cyclist, horseback riders, and other park goers are invited to participate in the All Trails Challenge hosted by Friends of the Wissahickon.

The challenge starts in August and tasks participants with logging as many miles in Wissahickon Valley Park through early November.

By registering as a challenger, participants will have the chance to meet like-minded adventurers, maybe experience the Wissahickon in a new way, and benefit the park by having friends and family support the All Trails Challenge journey and the Wissahickon Valley Park.

An information session is planned for Tuesday, Aug. 8 at which interested participants can learn about the challenge including mileage tracking and hike apps, setup for your fundraising page, tips for getting donors, sharing updates with friends and family, and more.

Register online here.

Friends of the Wissahickon members can start the challenge on Monday, Aug. 21.

Sign up to become a member online here.

The general public can start the challenge on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

Friends of the Wissahickon will provide weekly route recommendations to help keep participants on-course throughout the event.

The last day to compete is Friday, Nov. 3.

Full details on the challenge, including giveaways and prizes, are available online here.
