Valley City (CSi) North Country Trail Association\u2019s Sheyenne River Valley Chapter has opened the Sheyenne River Valley Challenge program designed to challenge new people to get involved with the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) \u2013 the nation\u2019s longest hiking trail \u2013 and the volunteers who build and maintain it in the Sheyenne River Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The public is invited to take on the Sheyenne River Valley Challenge, a new program started by the Sheyenne River Valley (SRV) Chapter of the North Country Trail Association (NCTA). Participants have a variety of ways of getting more engaged that range from hiking the NCT on their own, sharing social media posts with their friends, joining a Chapter hike, joining the Chapter as a NCTA member, to adopting a trail section to maintain for a year. Participants earn points for the more challenges they complete and people become eligible by passing 200 points. Challenge winners will be selected next August 1st for the cash grand prize and other prizes.
