Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway Virtual Step Challenge!

Sponsored by

Join us for the first annual Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway Virtual Step Challenge! The Scenic Byway is an 87-mile loop around Cayuga Lake, which is the longest and second deepest of the Finger Lakes. To celebrate those 87 miles, we’ve decided to challenge you to see if you can walk the length of the byway in 30 days, which translates to roughly 184,000 steps. I know what you’re thinking. It seems like a lot of steps, but divided amongst the full 30 days, it’s only about 6,134 steps a day and totally doable!

Details:

Dates to complete the challenge: October 15 to November 14, 2021
