Coastal Mountains Land Trust

Trails Challenge 2021

LOG YOUR MILES 

TOTAL MILES (total)

Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s annual Trails Challenge is back! Support local efforts to build and maintain quality trails by logging your miles of trail use. Throughout the 2021 Trails Challenge, every mile you hike, run, or bike literally will pay off – resulting in a dollar donated to the Land Trust’s trail stewardship program.

HOW IT WORKS:

–   You Run, Hike, or Bike on CMLT trails, then log your miles on our Trail Challenge website (www.coastalmountains.org or use the QR code at the                                       Trailhead).
–   1 mile = $1 For every mile logged, $1 is released from our pool of local sponsors to the Land Trust to support trail construction and maintenance.

OUR CHALLENGE GOAL:

–   Log 15,000 miles between July 31st and September 28th and raise $15,000 to support local trail at Coastal Mountains Land Trust.
–   Inspire people to discover, explore, and experience new (and old) trails!
–   Bring the trail users of Midcoast Maine together to celebrate and build community!

WHEN:

From July 31st to September 28th, 2021

WHERE:

All Midcoast trails.

TIME:

All day.

COST:

RULES:

–  $1 mile will be donated to the Land Trust for every mile travelled.
–  It’s scouts honor. We don’t verify anyone’s mileage… so please be honest when logging your miles
–  Miles can be logged daily, weekly or in batches, whatever is easiest. You can also log miles for friends and family if you used the trails together.
–  Miles do not have to be on a CMLT trail necessarily, but please limit trail miles to trails in our region.
–  Share the challenge on social media, challenge your friends and family, challenge a co-worker. When posting use “#cmlttrailschallenge”, “#findyourtrail”
–  Send us your photos and tag us on social media so we can see and re-share them with our community of trail users.
–  Stay tuned to social media, our eNews and this website for special events and prizes from local businesses as a reward for those logging their miles week in week         out.

A huge thank you to our local business sponsors!
