How It Works


1. One Park, One Trail, Every Week

Each week we’ll feature a different Carmel park, complete with a unique trail to run or walk. This year, we're also suggesting longer routes to other parks for more mileage.

We’ll provide directions and a link to each park department’s website so you can check hours, amenities, and more.

2. Track Your Progress

Complete the weekly trail and log your results using your fitness tracker or by manually entering your date, time, and distance. Whether you’re racing against the clock or enjoying a leisurely walk, every step counts.

3. Picture of the Week

When you log your results, share your favorite photo with us on Facebook or Twitter. We'll choose one winner each week and award a fun prize from Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation!

4. Prize for the Finishers

Complete and record your days, times, and distance on all six featured trails, and you’ll be entered to win fantastic prizes from local businesses.
