Jingle Hike Challenge 2023
Jingle Hike Challenge 2023
The Heartlands Conservancy Jingle Hike Challenge is back this year in holiday style! Jingle bells will be tied to 12 trees in parks throughout the Metro East from Thanksgiving Day to New Year’s Day. Participants are asked to visit as many parks as they can, take a photo with the bell, and submit the photo evidence using their tracking system. For every entry, you will be entered to win prizes. Bonus entries are awarded for every correct tree identification.
All are welcome to participate! However, you must be a registered (paying) participant to be eligible for Jingle Hike's amazing prizes! Each submission enters you into a prize drawing. You must be registered and 18 or older to win. If you find 6 bells or more, you will be entered to win the grand prize!
Late registration is open through December 19, 2023 at 5:00 pm. (T-shirts and hoodies are no longer available).
