On Oct. 19, the Trail Conference turns 100. To mark that milestone, we're holding our first-ever Trail-A-Thon. We're inviting everyone to take on the challenge of walking, hiking, running, or riding 100 miles to help mark our Centennial. Registration is free to participate in this fun community effort!

While ticking off your miles, you'll also have the opportunity to raise money for the Trail Conference and protect the land you love in the process. Trail-A-Thon participants are encouraged to reach out to family, friends, and colleagues to support your efforts in making an impact. The event aims to raise awareness and support to continue our mission for another 100 years.

If you’ve been wondering about your charitable giving options, we invite you to participate in our new webinar series, Making the Most of Your Legacy. Longtime Trail Conference supporter David J. Haas, president and founder of Cereus Financial Advisors, LLC, will be offering insight on several ways to give, explaining the benefits of each method. Join us for Part 3 of the series on Oct. 7 to learn about smart beneficiary selection for your IRAs, 401(k) plans, life insurance, and annuities.

When you opt for a hike that sees less foot traffic, you're helping to alleviate stress on the land. The most popular trails and outdoor destinations in our region all have alternatives that are equally spectacular—and we’re sharing our favorite trails less traveled. Bonus: When you opt for an "alternative" hike, you’re part of the solution. You're practicing Leave No Trace principles to help relieve the overuse of popular trails, protecting the land, and helping to keep these special places from being "loved to death."
