• OTHER:
  • A big thank you to The Software Studio team (Bruce, Brad, and Julie) for donating, developing, and supporting, the app for the past couple of years. We appreciate you bringing the program into the 21st Century! 
  • We'd also like to thank Kevin Buettner for allowing us to use his beautiful photography.

Electronic Log: If you are someone who doesn't like messing with spreadsheets, let us do the work for you.

• Simply fill out the electronic log submission form - Elog Submission Form (www.surveymonkey.com/r/2023ElogSubmission) - and we take care of the data entry on the back end.
• Once you've submitted your form, your data will be manually transferred into the spreadsheet by our team. You do not enter the mileage yourself. You will view your mileage on the electronic log by clicking here or visiting https://bit.ly/2023Elog.
• Participants will be identified by their last name and first initial on the log.
• The set-up process could take up to 72 hours.
• Please keep in mind that the mileage for those participating in the electronic log will be on display for all to see.
• NOTE: The web-based app will be replacing the Elog in 2024. We recommend transitioning over to this method so you become familiar with the new process. 
• Tracking apps: Note this is different than the Challenge Program App. While we cannot recommend apps to help you track your miles, several Challenge members do have favorites. Below is a short list of what current members are using:
  • Jessica: Under Armour Map My Hike
  • Roger: Strava
  • Carol: Fitbit
  • Carla: Map My Hike and Strava
  • Electronic logs will be accepted through 4 pm on February 8, 2023. Late logs will NOT be accepted.

 

THREE PARK MINIMUM: Participants must visit a minimum of THREE Maricopa County regional parks OR TWO Maricopa County regional parks and the Maricopa/Sun Circle Trail to complete the Challenge.

• Our team understands that you have your favorite trails managed by city, state, and national parks. However, this program is managed and operated by funding from the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department.
  
  If you would like to trek in a park managed by another agency, we encourage you to continue doing so. But, please note, that we are unable to count that mileage towards the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Departments' 100 Miles in 100 Days Challenge.
• All trails found on this page are part of the 100 Mile Challenge - https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/maps/.
• The Maricopa Trail segments, which are also included in the Challenge, can be found at - https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/park-locator/maricopa-trail/trail-maps/.
   

SUBMIT LOGS: YAY...you've finished your Challenge!!! What do you do now? All treks must be recorded no later than 4 p.m. on February 8, 2023. Since everyone is participating electronically this season, your logs are submitted automatically.

ELOG PARTICIPANTS ONLY:

• Please send us an email (100MileChallenge@maricopa.gov) with your name/shirt color/shirt size/pickup location. We will enter your data into the order form on the backend.

EXCHANGES:

• The order will be placed with the vendor on February 9, 2023.
• This order will contain EXACTLY what the participants who completed the Challenge identified on their account in the app (i.e., size and color).
• The department does not keep extra shirts on hand for exchanges.
• Please look at the size chart(s) and ensure you have ordered the appropriate size.

SHIRT PICKUP:

• The shirts will be available at the parks on Saturday, March 18, 2023. for pickup.
• The parks will receive a master list with the names of all participants who successfully completed the Challenge.
• Tell one of our team members in the park’s nature center your name, and they will pull your shirt from their shipment.
• Remember, the name you provide them must be the name you registered your account under on the app. If you go by a nickname and registered under your given name, our team may not be able to locate you on the master list. 

CELEBRATIONS:

• While we’ve enjoyed hosting celebrations in the program’s early years, we no longer have the staffing or funding to do so. As the number of individuals participating in the program has grown and we’ve moved towards electronic resources to track miles, our costs for the free program have increased. We appreciate all who participated this season and hope you enjoyed your experience!

ANNUAL PASS AND RETAIL CENTER VOUCHER:

• Once the annual pass/retail center voucher winner has been selected, we will push the information out on the app and the program’s Facebook page. Good luck everyone!

WRAP-UP SURVEY:

• After the program concludes, we will be sending out a short follow-up survey to see how we can improve next season.
