The Peru Gazette

Calling all those over 50. Looking for something fun and fit to do this summer?  Think about participating on the Trailblazer Challenge.  Walk the seven accessible trails in Clinton County by October 13, 2015 and get a Trailblazer T-shirt and, if among the first 50, a pedometer and walking journal.  But the real prize is checking out some local trails with your friends and family.

The seven trails are:

• Hagar Heritage Trail, Plattsburgh
• Heritage Trail/Karen Fleury Memorial Bike Bath, Plattsburgh
• Terry J. Gordon Recreational Path, Plattsburgh
• Point Au Roche Trail, Plattsburgh
• Saranac River Trail, Plattsburgh
• Silver Lake Bog Trail, Ausable
• Little Ausable River Trail, Peru

Two other local trails that can be walked but are not paved and are not part of the Challenge are:

• New Land Trust Trails, Saranac
• Cadyville Park Trails, Cadyville

Please see the Registration Form at www.perutown.com/TrailblazersRegistrationForm.pdfand more detailed information about the trails and the Challenge at www.perutown.com/TrailblazersFlyerHandout.pdf.

The kick-off will be part of the Clinton County’s Health Department’s Longest Day of Play on Friday June 26th. At 8:15am please join us at the Saranac River Trail at the Angel Street entrance.  You don’t need to be at the kick-off to participate in the Challenge but it would be fun to start this off all together.  So talk to some friends and get ready to be Trailblazers this summer.
