Hike for health and wellness in the digital age.

For the entire month of October, this virtually-managed event inspires people of all ages and abilities to get outdoors and raise funds to bring preventative mental health solutions to communities in need across North America.

FREE & FUN—FOR EVERYONE!

All are welcome to join this peer-to-peer fundraising event. Registrations is free, easy and online. Once the event kicks off on October 1st, participants will log their miles to earn hiking incentives and compete for overall leaderboard prizes—as individuals and teams! Since the Hike-A-Thon is managed virtually, participants have the choice to join local guided hikes in select cities across the US and Canada, or log miles from anywhere in the world! Throughout the month, participants are taking steps (literally and figuratively) to improve their own health, build community and advocate for more green time and less screen time.

WHY SPONSOR THE HIKE-A-THON?

All raised funds from the Hike-A-Thon will benefit Nature Unplugged’s work in bringing preventative mental health programming, services and resources to communities in need. Together, we can bring the same urgency to preventive mental health solutions as we do crisis intervention.
