Now that it’s August, it’s time for the annual C-K Trail Challenge.

This year the event will feature weekly themes along with free prizes while supplies last.

The Chatham-Kent Public Library is partnering on the challenge and cyclists are urged to pick up a free prize. Participants are also encouraged to grab some trail booklets and cycling maps.

Throughout the month, QR codes will be posted on trails across the municipality. The codes can be scanned, which allows trail enthusiasts to enter for a chance to win a prize pack. Ten will be given out.
