Join our pledge hike benefiting outdoor programs for youth!

Join the fifth annual Hike for Youth "hike-a-thon," benefiting three environmentally-focused youth agencies in Denver: cityWILD, Colorado Mountain Club's Youth Education Program and Mile High Youth Corps.

On the morning of Saturday, Sept. 13, hikers of all ages and abilities will hit the trails of Golden Gate Canyon State Park to raise money for programs that connect youth to the outdoors. Whether you want an easy stroll through the fall woods, a strenuous 6-mile hike with your pup, or something in between, we have a hike for you, your employees or your kids group! Visit www.hikeforyouth.org for more information or to register online. With specific registration questions, contact hikeforyouth@cmc.org.

Adults hike for $25 and youth (ages 5-17) hike for $10. Or sign your colleagues up as a Corporate Club and hike for $250 for a team of 10. All hikers are encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges to support the benefiting agencies and top fundraisers will win awesome prizes like outdoor gear, REI gift cards, digital cameras and more. Pledge raising will be a cinch as individual, online fundraising pages will be created with your registration... all you have to do is send the link out to your friends and ask them to join in supporting the Hike!

Difficult hikes will begin at 9 a.m., moderate at 9:30 a.m. and easy hikes at 10:30 a.m.. All hikes will end by noon in time for the after-hike party.

The 2008 Hike for Youth is presented by TheFerrantiFoundation in partnership with REI. Supported by the Denver Newspaper Agency, Denver Connections Academy, 99.5 The Mountain, Columbia Sportswear, Steaz Organic Green Tea and Clif Bar.
