Metro Parks Spree for All offers virtual option  

Spree for All, the two-month Summit Metro Parks hiking event on flat and easy trails, started June 1 and will continue through July 31. The spree includes 12 different trail options that are great for families with young children and those who use wheelchairs, walkers and canes.

This year, the park district will offer an option to complete the spree online. 

To participate in the event, download a hiking form at summitmetroparks.org/spree-for-all.aspx or pick one up at any Acme Fresh Market store in Summit County. Then earn rewards – free to Summit County residents – by completing five hikes, which could be on the same spree trail or a combination of different spree trails.

Participants who watch five trail videos may also receive spree rewards. A new trail video will be released each week for the next five weeks. Out-of-county residents pay to receive their rewards ($10 for first-year hikers, $5 for veteran hikers).

Since the annual event began in 2004, 40,669 participants have completed at least five hikes to earn Spree for All rewards: a neck lanyard and commemorative pin for each first-time hiker, and a commemorative pin for every veteran hiker. This year’s pin features a native frog.
