Sponsored by the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, help monetize summer recreation with participation in the local nonprofit’s Summer Trails Challenge. The seasonal community mileage bank will be open June 1st–30th and is open to all.
During the challenge, GVLT will receive $1 from the Community Match Pool, donated by local businesses, for every mile that is biked, hiked, walked or run on local trails and logged online. 1 mile = $1. It’s that simple! This year’s goal is 100,000 miles. Yours will help GVLT continue to expand and enhance the Main Street to the Mountains trail system.
Visit www.GVLT.org for access to the Summer Trails Challenge mileage logger and details about other upcoming events.
