We'll a;sp mail out some memorable, thematic prizes to all registered participants. 

As with all of our FUNdraising trail races, all proceeds go to local Northwest trails. Which means you can feel doubly good about your registration fees and any additional donations you make being put to good use. [It also means we'll give you bonus virtual high-fives of gratitude every vertical kilometer you climb.]

WHY GEMINI GUPPY? 
Kerri is a Gemini, and is all about getting into alpine lakes whenever given the chance, typically daily whenver our local alpine lake isn't frozen. In that spirit, and as a nice counter-balance to our other astrologically-inspired challenge Apex Aries, why not create a fun challenge centered around fun swim challenges as we roll into mountain shoulder season?

LEAVE NO TRACE 
In addition to being tough and F-U-N, our races are also always low-impact. You won't find any paper products at any of our events, and we avidly support local businesses, which means prizes and awesome aid are frequently sourced locally (and as sustainably as possible). We aim to have less than ONE bag of trash for every race weekend, and in all our years directing Endless Trails events, that's a goal we proudly hit every year.

​If you're not already an old pro at LNT, please familiarize yourself with Leave No Trace principles and take only pictures/leave only footprints as you're scheming and completing your virtual challenge. 

LET'S DO TRAIL WORK! 
Speaking of well-built trails, trail work is at the heart of our love for trails, and central to Endless Trails' short- and long-term mission.
If you'd like to sign up to do trail work in Ponderosa State Park with us and members of the Park's crew, you can do that right here. 

HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE TRAILS!
