In 2025 we started hikechallenge.org with the vision that it becomes a nationwide movement to inspire people of all fitness levels to reconnect with nature, experience the joy of hiking, improve our Health, build Community, and grow in Confidence.

Our challenge invites you to embark on three distinct journeys—a 5‑mile, a 10‑mile, and a 50‑mile hike. Please note that the Hike Count Dashboard will only count 1 hike per person in each of the hike distances. Every single hike is a unique personal milestone that adds to our collective journey.

Once you’ve completed your hike, please submit it so it’s recorded on the Hike Count Dashboard and so your name shows up on our Finishers list—and then think about whom else might enjoy hiking as well. Your example can help spread the benefits of Health, Nature, Community, and Confidence even further.
