The Lincoln Trail-A-Thon is a challenge to ride, run, or walk all the trails within the Lincoln City limits in 2023. When you finish you will have covered just over 92 miles of trails. This fun challenge was started to inspire individuals to be healthier by getting outdoors to enjoy the amazing trails system in Lincoln. But even more, it is to: (1) GIVE back (2) EXPLORE new trails (3) CONQUER a common goal.

Explore Lincoln by bike on the trails. Each ride features a different quadrant of the city. Meet at the Jayne Snyder Trails Center (21st and Q) Union Plaza Park every Thursday in May. Routes are subject to change, refreshments 15 minutes before each ride, no registration fee, just show up and ride. Helmets are required.
Current fundraising efforts are focused on exciting projects including the Prairie Corridor on Haines Branch and the Wilderness Park Master Plan. We are helping Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department raise funds that will enhance the trail accessibility.
