The TVT Challenge, a fun, non-competitive hiking endurance event, gives participants the chance to test their limits and to see how far they can hike in one day. Various routes will be marked along the Twin Valley Trail, with hiking options ranging from 1 to 27 miles.
Sustainability Volunteers are needed to help educate the community about sustainability and direct them on how to sort and dispose of compostables, recyclables, and other waste at this fun event.
