June 1st-July 15th, 2022
Located in Duluth and along Minnesota’s North Shore
Test your hiking abilities while taking in the sights! The Trail Challenge is a hiking challenge consisting of 9 trails totaling 38 miles broken down into 3 categories: Easy, Moderate, and Difficult. The hikes start in Duluth ending just north of Grand Marais.
Similar to years past, participants will need to submit their photos as proof on Instagram or Facebook by tagging @trailfitters and using the hashtag #TFTC22. If you do not have a social media account or if you would rather not post using #TFTC22, you are welcome to bring in your photos to show us upon completion. Please be prepared with either your posts or photos to show an employee when you arrive at the store to get checked off as a finisher.
You are encouraged to take as many photos as you would like, please post one or two from a location near the camera icon on each map with the hastag #TFTC22. Once all the hikes are completed, stop into Trailfitters to redeem your prize!
Trails for the 2022 TFTC will be announced on WEDNESDAY JUNE 1st – stay tuned!
