FLT50 & FLT100
The Finger Lakes Trail Conference’s annual FLT50 challenge is back! We have included a higher challenge for those wanting to do more miles, the FLT100!
The challenge is FREE! All miles completed on trails within the Finger Lakes Trail system in calendar year 2024 will count – this includes branch trails, miles from your favorite hikes that you do over and over again, and total miles for out-and-back hikes. All miles hiked on the FLT from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 can be included.

The mission of the Finger Lakes Trail Conference is to build, protect, enhance, and promote a continuous footpath across New York State. Forever!
The Finger Lakes Trail system, over 1000 miles in length, runs from the Pennsylvania-New York border in Allegany State Park to Long Path and the summit of Slide Mountain in the Catskill Forest Preserve, with branch trails to Niagara Falls, the Genesee River valley, the Great Eastern Trail south of Corning, the central Finger Lakes, and the Syracuse region. From the PA border to the northeast end of the Onondaga Branch, the Finger Lakes Trail is also the North Country National Scenic Trail. This system is built and maintained almost entirely by volunteers. Covering some of the most scenic land in New York, we welcome you to hike it, and volunteer to keep it beautiful. This site offers maps and tools for both.
