Trails Challenge 2025
Welcome to Trails Challenge 2025. For the past 32 years, the East Bay Regional Park District has promoted healthy recreation and time in nature through its annual Trails Challenge program. The free program connects people to nature by providing 20 designated trails ranging from easy to moderate and challenging, including a number of fully accessible trails that have been evaluated and identified as usable by persons with mobility limitations.
To finish the challenge, participants need to walk, ride, or roll five trails or 26.2 miles. Walking, biking, and horseback are all ways visitors can participate.
2025 Trails Challenge guidebooks and T-shirts can be picked up at any East Bay Regional Parks Visitor Center while supplies last. The guidebook can also be downloaded online. 2025 Trails Challenge Guidebook
