It’s here! The 2024 Hike-a-Thon starts today, and we can’t wait to hit the trails, streams, and bluffs with you!
Unlike any other event in the Southeast, this April-long event supports the protection of Tennessee’s lands and waters through the work of TennGreen Land Conservancy. So many of our incredible members, friends, and families have registered, and we can’t thank you enough.
REGISTER NOW!
As Nashville’s own News Channel 5 says in their Hike-a-Thon 2024 coverage, “The month-long competition in April is free for you to register and organizers say you can participate from anywhere in the world. The conservancy started collecting donations March 1st and so far, they’ve raised more than $170,000 of their $200,000 goal. The money will go towards conserving land across Tennessee for wildlife corridors, critical habitat, and public benefit.”
This head start is, of course, due to our phenomenal 2024 sponsors: Bearded Iris Brewing, Cumberland Kayak, Bailey Equipment & Intralogistics, Sphere, and many others (listed below).
There are a TON of competitions to enter for amazing prizes throughout April. From photo competitions to most miles hiked and most money raised, here’s a bit of what Hike-a-Thon participants will be adventuring for this month:
