Some people would rather take a “hike” virtually even in the best of times. For those who would rather watch other people hike, as well as those who are planning to get out in the fresh air as soon as the temperature gets above 35 and actually get some exercise, Cleveland Metroparks CEO Brian Zimmerman and trail builder Ralph Protano will be celebrating Opening Day for Trails on Facebook Saturday, April 18 @ 10am.
For those who actually like to hike, they’ll share some of the more than 300 miles of trails they have in 48 northeast Ohio communities. So there’s plenty of room to social distance!
Cleveland Metroparks has also announced its 2020 Trail Challenges to encourage people to get out and explore. (Six feet apart please, and wear a mask!). You can walk, run, bicycle, rollerblade or even paddle to complete segments of the challenge “by any legal means.” Download the challenge form and record each activity you complete. If you complete 10 of the trails by December 31, you get a Trail Challenger sticker; complete 20 and get a 2020 Trail Challenge mug if you’re one of the first 250 to do so. Starting June 1, you can bring (hopefully) your completed for to one of the Metroparks education center to snag your prize.
