Hike-a-Thon is Washington Trails Association's premiere fundraising event of the year. Every year, hikers collect sponsors and pledges from family and friends, then spend the month of August hiking the mountains, the coasts and everywhere in between.

142 hikers participated in the 2011 Hike-a-Thon. Collectively they hiked more than 6,000 miles and raised over $67,000 for trails!
