2026 Summer Parks Challenge is here — registration open

Lace up — the 2026 Summer Parks Challenge kicks off May 18 and runs through August 25. That's 100 days to explore as many of Greater Victoria's parks as you can on foot.

Registration is open right now via Stripe Checkout. Pay once, and your account is ready the moment the credentials land in your inbox seconds later. If you ran with us in 2025, sign in and click Renew for 2026 to roll your account over.

What's new this year:
• Strava Integration!
• Even better park and trail auto-detected from your Strava & GPX.
• Run details now shows a "So Close Parks You Nearly Visited" list. Click a chip to fly the map to that park.
• Edits to a run regenerate the map immediately.

Same rules as last year: at least 25 m of your route must fall inside a park's boundary for it to count.

Renewal: sign in, hit Renew for 2026, pay through Stripe. Your dashboard updates on the next page load.

See you on the trails.
