1,123 adventurers explored the great outdoors and raised funds in April to support TennGreen Land Conservancy during its fifth annual Hike-a-Thon. Throughout the month-long event, Hike-a-Thoners raised $259,185 and hiked, paddled, climbed, ran, and biked more than 14,850 miles. Participants completed 2,908 outdoor adventures, exploring parks, trails, and natural wonders across the U.S. and beyond. This year’s outstanding effort highlights the power of our outdoor community and its dedication to conserving land where people and nature can thrive.
