I am so honored to be 1 of the 100 TrailBlazers for the #10KWomenTrailProject! Hike It Baby is launching the 10,000 Women Trail Project, an initiative to get women and girls on trails all across North America. Funded by @REI #ForceOfNature grant, our goal over the next year is to encourage women to bring female friends and family on a trail at least once a month.
About...REI found while many women know getting outside is good for them, they have a hard time finding inspiration. In a 2017 study of women in the outdoors, they found 65% of the women surveyed could not think of an outdoors woman who inspires them! And, 6 out of 10 women say men's interest in the outdoors is taken more seriously than women's.We want to prove them wrong! The goal is to see if, together, we can inspire 10,000 women in 2018 to hike, log their adventures, and who they brought along.
This is a FREE program and anyone can register for the project, whether they are part of @hikeitbaby or not. You simply register at www.10kwomentrailproject.org, log your hikes, and enjoy mother nature! Plus you'll be entered every month to win cool prizes just for getting outside and hiking!
Together let's inspire each other, motivate and cross those barriers that limit women and girls participation in outdoor activities!
