Be a part of the Annual TVT Challenge! This is a fun, non-competitive hiking endurance event. Various routes will be marked for 1-to-27-mile hiking options along the Twin Valley Trail. Participants set out to see how far they can hike in a day! Help provide refreshments, act as a safety checkpoint, and assist participants who need staff support or a ride back to the starting point as an Aid Station Attendant!
Impact
Volunteers help build access, comfort, convenience, and safety into our programs for participants.
