There are five trails in Lloyd that make up the 20.5 mile challenge - the Franny Reese State Park, the Walkway Over the Hudson, the Johnson-Iorio Park/Mid Hudson Bridge, the Hudson Valley Rail Trail and the Berean Park/ Illinois Mountain trail. An included tri- fold describes each of the walks, their length and degree of difficulty from easy to moderate. As a participant finishes each of the trails, they will receive a sticker to affix to their “Passport.” After all five are completed the “Passport” is then mailed to or dropped off at Town Hall and they will receive a commemorative patch that can be displayed on a hat, shirt or jacket. Superintendent Paul Hansut commended the EDC for the “good and positive things they do for the town” and introduced committee chairman Charles Glasner and member Gary Pregno to describe the Challenge for the Town Board and the public.
