3rd Annual Hike-a-Thon

The Friends of Van Cortlandt Park (FVCP) is hosting their Third Annual Hike-a-Thon on Saturday April 28th, 2012 to help implement the newly completed Trails Plan and to introduce more people to the Park's extensive network of hiking and walking paths.

Like a Walk-a-Thon, Hike-a-Thon participants will sign up supporters to sponsor their hike. All participants who register and raise at least $30 will receive a Friends t-shirt. Children (under 18) that raise at least $60 and adults that raise at least $120, who are also among the first 100 participants to register will receive a goody bag. Prizes will also be available to individuals who raise the most pledges. Registration deadline is Friday April 10th, 2012.

Participants will be able to choose from three routes—a family friendly one-mile loop on the John Kieran Trail or exhilarating 3 or 5 mile excursions into the outer reaches of the Park.
