Hikeathon

Hello,

I am excited to invite you to join the Telluride Miners School District Team for the Telluride Rotary June 2026 Hikeathon; any and all are encouraged to participate. We are hoping to field a large team this year. 60% of all funds we raise will go directly to the Telluride Education Foundation, and the remaining 40% will support Rotary College Scholarships, the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, and Rotary Community Service Projects.

Registration for the Hikeathon is $25, which goes directly toward the Team's total funds raised. Any additional funds you raise through pledges and donations will also go toward our Team's total.

You can track your miles during the month of June (although that is not necessary unless you have someone pledge by the mile). Any walking you do will count toward your total; it does not have to be miles on a hiking trail.

If you do not want to participate as a Team member, please consider making a pledge to the Team (or a general donation) by clicking on the "Give" button at: https://go.dojiggy.io/telluriderotaryhikeathon2026/Campaign/Details

To register and join our Team:
  1. Go to: https://go.dojiggy.io/telluriderotaryhikeathon2026/Campaign/Details
  2. Click on "Participant Center"
  3. Click on "SIGN UP NOW"
  4. Under "Individual Adult Registration", click on "Add to Cart"
  5. Click on "Check out now"
  6. Select Telluride School District as your Team, and complete your registration.

You can then encourage others to join our Team, or to pledge or make a general donation.

You can log miles between May 31 and June 28 on the Hikeathon webpage.

I hope you will join me to have a great hiking month in June, and to support our schools, TEF, and Rotary.
