STILLWATER – With the 100-Mile Challenge now over, Saratoga National Historical Park is encouraging people to “Find Your Park” by racking up more miles.

The inaugural challenge was held last year between May and October. According to Park Ranger Megan Stevens, there were 225 participants who signed up and 71 who actually finished, “including six dogs,” she said.

So far, a total of 35 people have signed up for this year’s challenge, Stevens added. 

Park enthusiasts are invited to bring snowshoes or skis, hike the trails and accumulate 100 miles at the battlefield between now and April 30. People can enjoy the rich natural and cultural heritage as they explore a national park while getting some exercise, too.

Saratoga National Historical Park is located between Routes 4 and 32, just west of the Hudson River.

Anyone can take part in the challenge, from beginners to advanced hikers and skiers, young and old, human and canine.

Registration is required and can be completed by emailing the names of all participants (dogs included) to This email address is being protected from spambots.
