Hey Fellow Hikers! If you’re looking for a great challenge, want to add miles to your Dakota Challenge, connect with nature and fellow hikers, or simply enjoy the benefits of a healthy body and mind, join us Saturday, October 3, 2026, for the 6th Annual Dakota Prairie Chapter “Hike A Half” (13.1 miles).

The well-maintained gravel trail is mostly flat, with a few gentle rolling hills and some newly resurfaced sections. There is very little shade along the route, so be sure to bring a hat!

Meet at 7:30 A.M. at the middle trailhead of the North Country Trail located 3 miles north of Highway 27 on Country Road 53. The starting location is the same as last year, except we will be
hiking west!

To register, sign up on Meetup. Additional event information will be shared through Meetup, so be sure to join the event to receive updates. You may also contact Rennae at: rgruch@aol.com.
