About the US Trail Running Conference Trails Challenge

Terrain Scouts and the US Trail Running Conference invite you to complete as many miles of Mukilteo's trails as you can during the dates of the US Trail Running Conference. This trails challenge was built to create a friendly competition between the conference participants, and whether you run, walk, or hike, all participants are encouraged to participate by signing up and recording your trail activities. It’s free to register and sign-up is easy. Connect to one of the many activity tracking options during registration so we can view your activities.

Your trail can be the sidewalk outside your hotel or one of the area's fantastic trails, it’s up to you! You can complete more than one run in a day, however there will be a maximum of 10 runs that can be completed over the 4 day challenge. 

The challenge runs from October 17 - 20. Unlock rewards throughout the challenge by completing Promoted Trails and compete for prizes awarded at the conclusion of the conference.

About Terrain Scouts

The Terrain Scouts challenge platform is a new type of activity challenge based upon the completion of specific trails or miles within a community. Completely customizable to anywhere in the world, Terrain Scouts offers the unique opportunity for people to get out, discover, and experience the trails. It gamifies your local trails to drive people to new locations, deliver unique messaging, and interact with their local trail community and supporting businesses. 

Summer or winter, the challenges are designed for participants to rediscover their favorite trails, learn about new or lesser-known trails, push their limits, and recreate locally.

Choose your trails and the duration of time needed for registration and the challenge. It's built for your needs!

The Terrain Scouts platform is fully customizable to fit your brand's look and feel including imagery, logos, colors, and fonts, both on the challenge pages and in emails.
