Join St. Peter's Health & Prickly Pear Land Trust and be entered to win a cash prize by hitting the local trails this summer in this new hiking challenge! 

Challenge will run June 1-August 17. One lucky bingo winner will receive $1,000 and two second-place winners will receive $500.

 

Challenge Rules

  1. Walk, run, bike or hike the trails on the bingo card. Take a time-stamped selfie with the trail sign or map it on your smart watch or app for verification. (Tag us on social media with #HikeItandStrikeIt)
  2. Complete 5 hikes in a row, column or diagonal, to get a bingo. The center square is a freebie! 
  3. Submit one bingo card per person recording all completed trails by August 17. Each bingo gets your name entered into a drawing for a cash prize! You can enter your name up to 12 times (blackout card.) Bingo winners will be asked to verify their trails. Ages 14+ are eligible for the cash prize.
  4. Turn in your completed bingo card at St. Peter's Health (2475 Broadway St.) at the Main Entrance, which is located next to the waterfall near Winne Ave. OR email a photo of your completed card to wellness@sphealth.org (be sure your contact information is visible.) 

Trail Tips from Prickly Pear Land Trust

Be Kind. Slow down and communicate clearly.

Right of Way. Bikers and hikers yield to horses. Bikes yield to hikers. Downhill traffic usually yields to uphill traffic.

Be cautious. Ride in control, know your limits, and give others space.

All ears. Always keep one ear free so you can listen for traffic and hear requests to pass.

Leave no trace. Pack out your garbage, food and dog waste. Let's keep our trails and public lands clean!

Respect the trails. Stay on the trail in all conditions to avoid widening trails.

Wildlife. Don't approach, harass or feed any wildlife. Leash dogs when wildlife is present. Carry bear spray and avoid traveling on trails at dawn, dusk or night.

*Please note that dogs are not permitted at Spring Meadow Lake or Prickly Pear Park during this challenge
