About the Mammoth Lakes 100 Trails Challenge
Mammoth Lakes is so much more than the classic (but sometimes busy) places you’ve seen on Instagram. That’s why Visit Mammoth is challenging you to get off-the-beaten-path this summer with the Mammoth Lakes 100 Trails Challenge. We’ve compiled 100 miles of trails to help you get outside the busy areas and have a slice of this adventureland all to yourself, even if it’s just for a while.
So what’s the Mammoth Lakes 100 Trails Challenge?
From June 1 through June 30, challenge yourself to complete 100 miles of off-the-beaten-path trails in and around Mammoth Lakes. Whether you’re in it to discover your new favorite trail, to push your athletic limits, or to win a $500 Mammoth Card (redeemable at participating Mammoth Lakes businesses), the Mammoth Lakes 100 Trails Challenge is all about having fun on the trails around town.
Registration is free! Although we do encourage donations that will go directly to four local stewardship and conservation organizations who take care of the trails we all enjoy. (Learn more about these local organizations below.) Here’s how to register and start racking up the miles:
Participating is a Few Clicks Away and Registration is Free

Once you register, you’ll find a whole community of hikers, runners, and cyclists participating in the Mammoth Lakes Trail Challenge with you.

And don’t forget to share pictures using #MammothTrailChallenge along the way. Our favorite photos will be randomly awarded with bonus goodies!
As you complete miles in the challenge, you’ll earn entries to the $500 Mammoth Card giveaway. The more miles you complete, the more entries you’ll receive. And be on the lookout for 'Promoted Trails' where you can earn bonus entries towards the $500 Mammoth Card giveaway.
While you’re out exploring, don’t forget to treat local trails with respect. And if you are able, consider giving back to the local organizations that help take care of Mammoth Lakes.
