Parks are our greatest health resource! Each August, GirlTrek hosts a Summer Trek Series in partnership with the National Park Service.

Join the Prayer Trek Like These Sisters
Beginning October 1st, we dedicate 9 days to walking, praying and cultivating the 9 fruit of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT). If you’re battling unhealthy habits, this trek will help you step out on faith and jumpstart a daily walking routine. We pray for the strength to make healthier choices. Women of all faiths and spiritual paths are invited. You can even get your church involved by contacting Faye at faye@girltrek.org.

Participate in the Gratitude Trek Like Kim
We use our walks as outward expressions of our inward appreciation for all that we have and all that we are. Beginning exactly 40 days before Thanksgiving Day, we will dedicate 30 minutes to practicing gratitude on our walks. Each week GirlTrek gives gratitude assignments and some women keep gratitude journals.

Celebrate #Harriet with Thousands
If we don't celebrate our heroes, who will? In 1990, Congress passed a resolution to name March 10th Harriet Tubman Day. If Harriet could walk her way to freedom, we can walk our way to better health. GirlTrek celebrates Tubman Day as a new health tradition. We use it as inspiration - to kickoff a spring training season, organize teams and set personal health goals. In 2014, we made #Harriet trend on social media!
