Calling all women over age 50 who are passionate about the outdoors!

We're excited to announce that, along with Oboz and Osprey, we're collaborating with 52 Hike Challenge and In Solidarity to launch OVER 50 OUTSIDE. This supportive community will bring together women over the age of 50 who are passionate about the outdoors. The program aims to motivate and empower them to get out on the trails weekly to build their confidence and well-being.

To kick off the initiative, OVER 50 OUTSIDE is offering sponsorship to 150 women. The sponsorship includes the 52 Hike Challenge Ultimate Package, monthly inspirational check-ins, gear advice, and fun perks from brand sponsors. Applications are open now through August 15, 2021. Hikers of all experienced levels are encouraged to apply at 52hikechallenge.com.
