It's Your Park, Your Challenge! Registration for the 2013 All Trails Challenge Presented by KEEN is now open.


Register today for the 2013 All Trails Challenge! The New All Trails Challenge is the best way to see all of the splendor of Forest Park while also helping the Conservancy raise much-needed resources to keep the park healthy and the trails safe and enjoyable. The all-new ATC offers 3 exciting ways to experience as much of Forest Park as you can in six months, with lots of support and incentives provided by FPC and our business sponsors.

Each Challenger will be given access to the tools required to complete the Challenge and raise funds for the preservation and protection of Forest Park, including a personal fundraising web page for soliciting online donations, an all-new FPC Trail Map & Visitors Guide to Forest Park, discounts on FPC merchandise, other trail resources, and coupons from area outfitters. Challengers can form teams with co-workers, spouses and friends, or walk all 80 miles solo. The Conservancy’s business partners and other supporters will provide valuable incentives for high-performing trekkers and fundraisers...even pet treats for participants (on leash of course!) in the All Dogs Challenge!

The Conservancy is now recruiting business sponsors for cash and in-kind donations of products and services.
