WHY TRAILS DAY?

Life is busy and not everyone makes a habit of getting outside. Many do not even know where to go for basic outdoor recreation. To address this, and promote parks and trails in general, we recruit event hosts and coordinate the promotion of their Trails Day activities. Our goal is to make getting outside and being active easy and accessible while also fostering a sense of stewardship. It's amazing and affordable fun for all.

There will be three Gig Harbor-area Trails Day events:

At 9:00a,Bike Gig Harbor will be hosting a fun out-and-back bike ride on the Cushman Trail, starting at the Kimball Park and Ride, over the Narrows Bridge and returning to Gig Harbor. 6 mile ride, at 12-14 miles per hour on flat segments. Registration is required. For details, visit: https://cascade.org/node/77716.
