The Northern California
Bigfoot Challenge
2025!
Although some may challenge the existence of Bigfoot, our Bigfoot Adventure Challenge participants know that Bigfoot loves to have fun on our awesome trails.
Shasta Living Streets is happy to sponsor
this great community event
Challenge Start & Finish: April 1–May 31
Trail Challenge
Please note that the Trail Challenge is intended to be completed by running, hiking, walking, and combinations of all of the above.
Plan Your Adventure
It’s very important to note that our designed routes can be completed in a way that works best for you. Our mapping includes a trailhead start, BUT you can start your adventure anywhere along the best route for you. We are fortunate in Redding and our other Challenge communities that many of our routes can be started from your home, work location, and/or favorite coffee shop without driving to the actual trailhead. Start your adventure from the comfort of your home, intercept our mapped route at the best location for you, substantially complete the route, and check the box on your passport.
Route-Ready
Make sure that you check the route pages on our website, as we will note whether we think the route is ready for you. We are fortunate to live in an area where snow can happen on the valley floor, and rains can fill our creeks. Oftentimes, our trails aren’t fit for humans or Bigfoot; plan accordingly.
Join the Team & Help Out – Volunteer Work
Your shared trail experience with Bigfoot doesn’t come without some trail-building and maintenance fun. Throughout the course of the Challenge, there will be opportunities for you to do some volunteer trail work with the Redding Trail Alliance. Visit the Get Involved Page for more information and/or your local trail steward partners, including Trinity Trail Alliance, The Watershed Center, the Mount Shasta Trail Association, and SORA. A day of trail volunteer work allows you to check one of the boxes on one of your passports without actually running or riding that route—what a deal for those of you who dread the Lemurian Long!
Drawing
Each passport submitted (MTB, Gravel, and/or Trail) enters you into a drawing for a local adventure store gift certificate. You must be present at the Closing Party to win.
