Cincinnati Hikes Goals and Challenges
Short Term Goals
5304 Steps for Ukraine
Cincinnati Hikes is partnering with No Strings Travel for a virtual hike to raise money for our sister city of Kharkiv in Ukraine. It is 5304 miles to our sister city so we're hiking 5304 steps (2.5 miles) to show our support! We want to raise $5304 to go to grassroots efforts to help the war struck city with funds for medicine and food delivered daily to the warzone where many poor, sick, and elderly are still stuck.
For this challenge you can register online or in person at Roads, Rivers, and Trails in Milford. You'll receive your exclusive Cincy Hikes Ukraine Sticker beforehand and together for 513 weekend, we're going to hike as a city in support of our sister city.
You can hike one of the scheduled hikes around the city all weekend or hike solo and post the picture of your hike and your sticker to Cincinnati Hikes with #5304. Registration to participate add get your sticker a donation of $25 and all the money goes directly to folks on the ground aiding in Ukraine.
You can find out more about the amazing woman behind the grassroots efforts, Olga Fedchenko, register, and purchase your sticker on the No Strings Travel website! You can click this button here!

Monthly Missions 2022
Wanting to add some different types of outdoor experiences to your life in 2022? We are too so let’s do it together with our Monthly Missions Challenge!
Each month will feature an activity to try and, if that particular activity isn’t your jam, you can participate in a volunteer opportunity or choose your own adventure instead. You can truly make this what you want! Our desire for you is that you meet new people, learn something new, or stretch outside your comfort zone just a bit to experience even more of Cincinnati’s outdoor goodness.
