This event, though called a Hike-A-Thon, is your chance to get out and WALK, HIKE, RUN, BIKE, OR PADDLE your favorite places at your own pace for a great cause. (Don't like the outdoors? Too many bugs? Get your friends to challenge you on your Peloton!) Though "virtual," this event will be connected through the RunSignUp platform and through #ExploretheNJHighlands on Instagram.
PROCEEDS WILL SUPPORT THE ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS OF THE COALITION. Our mission is to protect, enhance and restore the New Jersey Highlands and to preserve the quality and quantity of drinking water for the 6.2 million people who depend on Highlands water.
Your friends and family can support your miles hiked, biked and paddled by donating to your campaign. There will be prizes associated with various fundraising goals. Registration is $20 + Fees for adults and $10 + Fees for young people under 15. Join with your friends, family, neighbor, hiking/biking/paddling group as a team!

PRIZES AND RECOGNITION
