The Spring 7 Hiking Challenge
We invite you to be part of an experience that has already become a tradition.
The Spring 7 Hiking Challenge celebrates its 5th consecutive year, bringing our community together for a challenge that goes beyond just walking—it is an opportunity to reconnect with nature, challenge yourself, and share the trail with others who also seek wellness, adventure, and connection.
During this experience, we will traverse 7 miles of trails surrounded by the beauty of the Minnesota River natural corridor—a landscape protected by the refuge, teeming with life, history, and hidden spots that inspire you to pause, observe, and marvel.
Every step will be an invitation to breathe deeply, move your body, clear your mind, and remember that nature always has something to teach us.
It doesn’t matter if you come for the physical challenge, to discover a new trail, or for the joy of walking in community—this challenge holds something special just for you.
5 years. 7 miles. One community. An unforgettable experience.
This spring, dare to walk with us 💛🌱
