Trail Challenge

Nemours Health & Prevention Services and Delaware State Parks are working together to increase physical activity opportunities for children and families. We are co-sponsoring the Trail Challenge, which supports the 5-2-1-Almost None healthy lifestyle by providing a fun way for individuals and families to be physically active.

To complete the Trail Challenge, hike 15 designated state park trails, measuring almost 40 miles, within 12 months. Successful efforts will be rewarded with a patch, certificate, pedometer and the official Golden Boot Award!

With more than 140 scenic miles of trails in 10 state parks, hiking is easily accessible to all Delawareans. The state’s relatively mild terrain makes hiking here something that everyone can do, whether you’re young or old, a novice or a fitness fanatic. And it doesn’t require a lot of expensive equipment. All you really need is a good pair of shoes or sneakers are fine for short hikes.To get your Trail Challenge brochure and punch card, click on the links below, stop by any Delaware State Parks office, or call Delaware State Parks at (302) 739-9191.
