2024-2025 PROACTIVE Challenge

To those in our NY/NJ/PA/CT hiking and outdoor community, those who have the pleasure of calling this region of ours home, those who we run into at Wyanokie High Point or Breakneck Ridge or up on Cascade, those with the desire to spend their precious time on a trail - either taking it on or taking it in, this is a challenge for you...

The 2024-2025 PROACTIVE champion will be decided in a year-long, points-based competition built around a series of challenges, both group and solo, that will require and test strategic planning, prioritization, and dedication. This year, our 2nd Season, there will be even more ways to earn points and keep the competition strong. 

Anybody entered into the Challenge (whether as an individual, duo, group) will...

• compete for a grand prize of the PROACTIVE 2024-2025 Championship Belt and $1000.00.
• be eligible for monthly giveaways from some of our favorite brands and partners between December and May. (Including noncompetitive supporters)
• be invited to all 14 scheduled PROACTIVE social hikes and other pop-up hikes and runs throughout the year.
• be invited to the 2024 PROACTIVE Annual Year-End Dinner in December 2024. (Including noncompetitive supporters)

• receive assorted swag throughout the year and, upon completion of requisite challenges, commemorative patches. (Earn 5 patches in total)
• be entered into a Challenge-wide $250.00 raffle with the winner to be chosen at the 2025 PROACTIVE BBQ.

The goals of the PROACTIVE Challenge are to...

• To promote a proactive lifestyle; to inspire and motivate people not to take time for granted, to satisfy their appetite for adventure, to improve their overall level of wellness, to expand their social circle, to push their own limits, and to thrive now.
• To showcase the beauty and diversity of our region.
• To help novice hikers discover new places to hike and encourage them to continue advancing.
• To provide advanced hikers with supplemental prep or training for larger events or general exercise.
