Montgomery County launches 2025 Trail Challenge and celebrates 10th anniversary at park

A new chapter in outdoor family bonding is set to unfold in Montgomery County as the annual Munco Trail Challenge kicks off on May 3, 2025. This year marks the eighth anniversary of the beloved mother-daughter tradition, which encourages families to explore the county's parks while enjoying quality time together.

The challenge, which has garnered positive feedback from participants, aims to motivate residents to discover the diverse parks and trails throughout the area. "People reach out to us and just thank us for motivating them and educating them about the different parks," a representative shared during the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners meeting.

Excitingly, the 2025 challenge introduces Twining Valley Park in Upper Dublin, featuring over seven miles of trails for walking, biking, and running, along with amenities like a dog park and fishing spots. "It's a really great asset," the representative emphasized, urging everyone to check it out.

The kickoff event will take place at Central Perkiomen Valley Park from 10 AM to 12 PM, featuring free helmet distribution for kids and a QR code for easy registration. Participants can sign up for the challenge on the county's website, where they will find a trail card with maps, safety tips, and scavenger hunts for children.

As the community gears up for this year's challenge, the focus remains on fostering outdoor activity and family connections, making it a highlight for residents eager to explore Montgomery County's natural beauty.
