Community sporting events for families: Folkssports

These hikes are held on scenic paths -- often in state parks -- with multiple-length loops (typically from 2 to 8 miles) that enable participants to tailor their outings to their ability, energy and schedule. Finishers get an award pin, and the events often are followed by a meal. Many of the trails are stroller-accessible. The hikes are coordinated by the NorthStar Trail Travelers.
