SUMMARY:Register Now for 26.2 in '26
DESCRIPTION:Hike (or Run or Walk) 26.2 miles in Van Cortlandt Park in 2026! \n\n\n\n\nThe Challenge: \nHike 26.2 miles in Van Cortlandt Park anytime during 2026\, post on social media (@vcpalliance) from the park to spread the word\, and wear your 26.2 in ‘26 Finisher’s Pin with pride once you attain your goal (because you earned it!). \nVCPA will provide you with route options within Van Cortlandt Park\, the third largest park in NYC\, but you pick your method (hike\, run\, stroll\, skip) and you pick when (as long as you complete it all by December 31\, 2026). Van Cortlandt Park\, located in the Northwest Bronx\, has over 20 miles of trails of various levels of difficulty. If any of the suggested trails are too strenuous\, you can substitute as you like. The specific trails do not matter as much as hitting the goal of 26.2 miles. \nRegistration: \nRegister now to receive the list of 9 different trails you can hike and some start-up swag! More details below. \nRegistration closes October 15\, 2026 but the sooner you register\, the more perks you will receive\, and the more time you will have to meet the challenge. \nCost/Proceeds: \nFor only $52 per adult ($26 for those under 18)\, you can participate\, receive swag\, and make a difference in Van Cortlandt Park. You also gain access to exclusive hikes in the park\, led by fabulous (and knowledgeable) VCPA staff. All proceeds support Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s environmental education\, internship and community stewardship programs. \nThe Swag: \nEvery participant gets a VCPA bag\, VCPA die-cut sticker\, VCP map\, and invitations to exclusive 26.2 in ‘26 guided hikes (optional but will count towards your 26.2 miles). After you complete your hikes\, you will receive an exclusive 26.2 in ‘26 Finishers Pin and bragging rights! Pins will be mailed starting in Fall of 2026. \nRegister Now.
