Hike-a-Thon is back! Be ready to hit the trail in any weather with this year’s prizes.

Great news — registration for this year’s Hike-a-Thon is now open! Every summer, the WTA community comes together to raise funds for our beloved trails and public lands. Hike-a-Thon is an opportunity for everyone to make a difference and to share your love of being outdoors with your friends and family.

Throughout August, you can hike, bike, walk, ride or roll anywhere in the world and share your adventures on your own, customizable fundraising page. Whether you’re hiking in the Hoh Rainforest or biking in Belgium, it all counts!

You’ll earn prizes for reaching fundraising milestones. And, the more you raise, the more you’ll earn! You’ll even have a chance to win more prizes by participating in the Hike-a-Thon bingo or photo contests, or during weekly prize drawings in August.

Check out this year’s great prizes, and sign up today so you don’t miss a moment of the fun! Bonus: Join Hike-a-Thon by July 16 and you'll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a WTA prize pack, featuring a WTA logo Cotopaxi backpack, buff, coffee mug and spork.
