The New England Trail (NET) offered another round of the Hike 50 Challenge in 2019, and they upped the ante by offering a Hike 100 Challenge as well.

In 2018, 340 of you completed the challenge, logging over 17,000 miles on the New England Trail! With over 1,500 signups from last year we have the feeling that some of you weren't able to complete your miles in 2018. Good news, we are launching a 2019 challenge! New year! Updated challenge!

In 2019, we are celebrating another important milestone on the New England Trail. March 30, 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the designation of the NET as a National Scenic Trail. To celebrate a decade of adventures on the NET and to build on your momentum from 2018, we are launching a 2019 bonus challenge! In addition to our Hike50 challenge we are offering a Hike100 challenge where the rules are the same but the points required are doubled. To commemerate this anniversay, we will be offering a new special edition 10th anniversary patch for those who earn 50 or 100 points and complete the challenge in 2019! 

I completed the challenge for the second-year, and received a nice patch and certificate in the mail.
