TAKE A HIKE
Walk for Muddy Sneakers
Gather your friends, family, colleagues, and classmates to Take a Hike in support of Muddy Sneakers!
Returning Fall 2025
Join us for Take a Hike, a FUNdraising event that invites participants to explore the great outdoors while supporting a worthy cause. Throughout the month, individuals are encouraged to get moving by walking, running, biking, or paddling on public lands of their choosing. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an ambitious goal, every mile counts!
How It Works:
First, Set Your Goal: Participants can tailor their experience, such as by setting personal mileage goals for the month. Whether it’s a single-day hike or a monumental challenge, there’s something for everyone.
Secondly, Pledge Your Support: Rally your advocates–for example, friends, family, colleagues, and employers–to support your journey by making a donation. The more miles you conquer, the greater the impact!
Finally, Make a Difference: Every step you take helps fund outdoor education programs for children through Muddy Sneakers. Most importantly, remember that by participating, you’re not just exploring nature—you’re shaping the future for generations to come.
Get ready to lace up your hiking boots, grab your bike helmet, or launch your kayak—it’s time to make a difference one step at a time. Join Take a Hike, because together, we can journey towards a greener, healthier tomorrow.
