To log your hikes:
This is a hiking challenge so log your hikes however you hit the trails: walking, wheeling, jogging, etc... Bikes do not count towards miles unless your access to hiking is by using an adaptive bike.
1. Create a free Strava account and set your settings to public (if private, your hikes will not show on the challenge).
2. Be sure you are a part of the Strava Club: WildKind Summer Hiking Challenge.
3. Track your hikes through a watch, phone, or manual entry post hike. *Be sure your activity is tracking as a *hike* (some synced programs will classify these as "walks" which will not show up in the club).
4. Name your hike: If you are vying for the most miles with a toddler or kid-carrying, name your hike with "toddler-led" or "kid carrying" in the title, so we can track those.
*Hikes must be logged in Strava and named correctly in order to count towards prizes. Hikes outside of Strava or not named as listed above will not be counted.*
5. Check in on the leaderboard, encourage others through kudos and posts and photos, and enjoy your time outside!
Hikes will be tracked in Strava and stats from each hike will be pulled to be tracked in excel for each category. Winners will be announced the week of August 28th. Happy Hiking!
