TrailFest is the largest annual gathering of Buckeye Trail hikers, volunteers and outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to serving the Buckeye Trail Association’s mission “to the building, maintaining, protecting and promoting Ohio’s longest scenic hiking trail”, the TrailFest is a weekend of education, resource sharing and fellowship. Each year the TrailFest is moved around the state to highlight local portions of the trail and nearby communities.
Sponsorship of TrailFest helps promote your involvement and love of the outdoors and helps the Buckeye Trail share our mission with the outdoor community. Buckeye TrailFest would not be made possible without the kindness of our friends, members and local business partners. Sponsors and donors allow us to provide a reasonably priced event to all participants. We could not do this without you!
