Get ready for SHT’s Ultimate Birthday Celebration.  One Day, One Trail, One Celebration.  June 6th will be a day to remember.  The SHT community is invited to hit the Trail on a once-in-a-lifetime community-wide hike. #SHT40

SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 2026

What to expect: A great day on the Trail! By flooding the Trail with hundreds of people who love the SHT as much as you do, we are celebrating the hard work of thousands of volunteers and members/donors who made the SHT a reality!

STEP 1:  Assemble your crew

Decide who you want to celebrate with and determine how many carloads (yes carloads!) you will be bringing on your hike, run or saunter. Choose your own distance and experience, there are no expectations other than you spend quality time on the SHT. Invite old hiking buddies, family members, heck, maybe a great first date?! 

STEP 2: Choose your Trailhead

Sign-up for a specific Trailhead to start your adventures. We want folks on EVERY section of the SHT. Click on the Trailhead of your choice below and register.  If your first choice is FULL, choose another one — every section of the SHT deserves some attention!

STEP 3: Document your day

Help SHT celebrate by posting photos from your hike. Flood SHTA’s social media with photos and videos using #SHT40.  This will automatically enter you to win fun SHT giveaways, including the coveted “retired wood-routed SHT signs.”  You don’t want to miss your chance to win!

STEP 4: Party with your fellow hikers

SHTA is hosting FOUR birthday parties from 4 PM to 7 PM on Saturday June 6th. Why 4?!? Well, we have a lot to celebrate and we cover the whole North Shore!  No sign-up necessary — there will be SHT-themed sweet treats and free drink tokens (as supplies last), more giveaways, and the opportunity to purchase limited-edition 40th Anniversary SHT merchandise.  Most importantly, it is an opportunity to hang out with fellow SHT lovers.  Special guest appearances by some SHT legends too!
