Vernon Recreation Dept. kicks off trails challenge

VERNON — The Vernon Recreation Dept. will kick off the 2017 Trails of Vernon Challenge on June 3.
The event is in conjunction with National Trails Day.
The Challenge is not a race — it is an individual challenge for personal growth. It’s about making a commitment that may change life for the better.
Three challenges have been added to the program. The original challenge is to log in 50 miles of trail travel and the second is to spread the world and the next level challenge is to add objectives to the trail travel.
You can hike, bike, run or walk — whether a novice or experienced trail person… we have trails for everyone! Research shows that spending time outdoors is beneficial to your overall health.
The Challenge officially kicks off on June 3, 2017 in celebration of National Trails Day and goes until Oct. 3, 2017.
That’s 20 weeks to meet your goals! Don’t forget to share your story and photos along the way on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/trailsofvernonchallenge/.
