What is the Truckee Meadows Trails Challenge?

The Truckee Meadows Trails Challenge (TMTC) motivates participants to get out and explore many of the hiking trails and public parks around the Reno area. At the same time, you will be supporting our parks through the Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation.

TMTC is a self-guided program where you choose the trails you want to hike after signing up. You can hike as little as 5 miles or go for it with up to 100 miles of trails. You consider your own interests and fitness level in making your selections. Individuals, families, and groups can all take the challenge.

How to Join the Truckee Meadows Trails Challenge

After you register, you will receive an email with tools to get you started. These include, our Trail Log to track your miles and the Truckee Meadows Trail Guide which contains a complete list of Washoe County trails.

As you complete your hikes, enter them in your trail log book. You have a year from the time you sign up to finish your challenge.

TMTC Guided Hikes

Free guided hikes each month are a benefit of joining the Truckee Meadows Trails Challenge. Guides will help you learn more about the parks and trails, you'll meet new people, and the hikes can be logged as part of your challenge. Refer to the "Truckee Meadows Trails Challenge 2021 Guided Hikes" for the when and where of these hikes. Participation is limited with pre-registration and face masks required.
