About Trek for the Trails

Community members and trail users of all ages and abilities are invited to ‘Trek for the Trails.’  The Trek is a month-long virtual event to support Loon Echo’s 30 mile (and growing!) trail network in the Lake Region. Get outside, give back, win prizes
‍
Trek for the Trails is Loon Echo Land Trust’s largest annual fundraising event. Funds raised from the Trek help Loon Echo steward over 8,500 acres of land and 30+ miles of trail in the Lake Region.

faq's
Are pets allowed? Dogs (or cats!?!) on a leash are welcome to complete the Trek with you (make sure you include them in your selfie!).
When do I have to register by? Registration for the Trek will run through Wednesday, September 30th.
How do I win those awesome prizes?? Each registered Trekker is automatically entered into the raffle. You can earn more raffle tickets by raising money from friends and family (for each $20 raised, you earn a ticket), and sending in or posting and tagging LELT in a selfie or photo from your Trek (limit one per participant, screenshot must be submitted to trek@lelt.org).

1. Trek Anywhere

You can make your “Trek” by visiting any LELT preserve between September 1 and September 30. That means even a drive up to Hacker’s Hill makes you a Trekker! Even if you can't make it to an LELT preserve, consider joining the Trek from afar.

2. Passport

Visit 4 LELT preserves and stamp your passport or take a selfie on the trail! A great way to motivate yourself to keep getting outside and discover new places.

3. Trail Run Challenge

Feeling a competitive? Up for a challenge? Compete for Strave bragging rights on 3 Strava segments. ‍Runners will be timed via a Strava segment on Pleasant Mountain, Raymond Community Forest, and Bald Pate Mountain. Pick one, two, or all three!
