Explore, Learn and Earn with Visit Clarksville’s New Challenge Trails

CLARKSVILLE, TN – Complete any or all of Visit Clarksville's 13 new challenge trails and earn custom-designed collectible pins. By using the Visit Clarksville app, visitors and residents can select a trail of their interest, check in at the required number of stops, earn a Challenge Badge in the app, and receive a custom-designed pin in the mail.

Available trails are Family Fun Attractions, Most Instagrammable Places, Heritage Trail, African American Legacy Trail, Uniquely Southern Food, Civil War Trail, Brews & Beverages, Treasure Hunters, Coffee Lovers, Artsy Shopping, Adventure Outside, Public Art and Sweet Treats.

“This project is an opportunity to invite both visitors and residents to engage more directly with our brand, elevate their brand experience, and directly drive traffic to Clarksville’s attractions and businesses,” said Visit Clarksville Chairman Matt Cunningham. “It’s also a tremendous learning opportunity as people venture beyond their normal routines and go-tos. We’ve been thrilled at the positive participation and feedback so far and plan to add more trails throughout the year.”

How it Works:

• Download the free VisitClarksvilleTN mobile app from the Apple Store or Google Play.

• Open the App and choose the Trails icon. Pick a trail and check in at the required number of places.

• Once the check-in requirement is achieved, users earn a Challenge Badge in the app.

• Visit Clarksville will email users for a mailing address and mail the earned pin(s).

• If users take a photo of themselves at a trail stop and tag #clarksvilletrailchallenge on Instagram or Twitter they can earn a bonus pin, bringing the initial collection to 14 in all.
