What are the expectations for hosting a National Trails Day® event?
1. Event hosts facilitate a group trail activity
Any non-motorized trail activity can be considered a National Trails Day® event. Events can be simple group hikes or rides, they can be large community festivals or anything in between.
2. All events need to be registered (for free) on the National Trails Day® database
Maintaining a comprehensive list of all NTD events enables the general public to easily search for events in their area.
3. Event hosts need to provide a clear and accurate event description
Participants should know what to bring and what to expect at an event. Please make it clear if participants need to pay for park admissions or event registration.
