We’re just a few weeks away from celebrating our 33rd annual National Trails Day® on June 7th!
There’s still time to register your event and be part of this nationwide celebration of trails, stewardship, and outdoor connection.
Each year, federal land managers and partners just like you host hundreds of events on public lands across the country, engaging tens of thousands of participants and trail volunteers — and we’d love to have you included in this year’s celebration!
Why Register?
Registering a National Trails Day® event is a great way to:
- Reach new visitors and trail users in your community
- Promote stewardship of public lands and trails
- Boost awareness and participation with support from American Hiking
Registering Your Event Is Free and Easy!
We understand that staffing capacity can be a challenge, and we appreciate everything you do to support trails and outdoor spaces.
Even low-lift events make a big impact — and registering only takes a few minutes. Whether you’re planning a volunteer project, a guided hike, or a self-guided trail experience, registering your event helps connect your efforts to the national celebration and brings more awareness and support to your trails.

- Encourage independent trail clean-ups, or other activities that allow visitors to engage with your trail without requiring staff on-site
- Schedule a post on social media for Saturday, June 7th thanking Trail Stewards for supporting trails and public lands

Thank you for all you do to support public lands and trails. We understand the capacity constraints you’re navigating — and we’re so grateful for your partnership in helping people across the country connect with, care for, and celebrate our trail systems.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can support your event planning in any way. You can reach us at ntd@americanhiking.org.
See you on the trails!
