Hike-A-Thon 2026

Hike for health and wellness in the digital age

What is the Hike-A-Thon?

The Hike-a-thon is Nature Unplugged's annual month-long event where participants will be taking steps (literally and figuratively) to improve their own health, build community, advocate for less screen time, and more green time. This event inspires people of all ages and abilities to get outdoors and raise funds to bring preventative mental health programming to schools and communities in need. Participants can log miles from anywhere in the world!

When is it?
