August Vert Challenge 2022
Mid Summer Motivation!
August is a great time for hike and fly all over the USA so we want to get everyone involved. This is a virtual challenge you can do right in your backyard, extra style points for flying down and carrying your kit (not required). Only for elevation gained on the ground.
The best way is to join the USA Hike and Fly group on Strava.
However not everyone Stravas so you can send us a weekly tally of your vert using one of the many other tracking/fitness apps. Distance doesn't matter! We will then tally weekly totals and update a leader board every Monday through the month of August.
EDIT: After 8/14 only STRAVA will be accepted. We are going this way so people see the current leader board. We have had this request from more than one person.
Entry fee: Nope
Prizes: Yup!!
