Mountain Sun Hike-a-thon
hike for a cause. The whole month of March
Do you or your organization want to help? Sponsor a class! You can pledge a dollar amount per mile hiked by the students or give a set amount. All classes are participating. To sponsor a class email our Communications Coordinator at kaylal@mountainsunschool.org
Parents, the 2026 Spring Hike-a-thon is here! Get geared up to participate for the entire month of March. Students will find sponsors who can pay them by the mile or a set amount. Students and their families then hike and record miles during the hike-a-thon period. After it concludes on March 31st, families gather the money earned and bring in forms and money to the school unless you chose to use the runsignup online option.
Guidelines:
Any walking or hiking counts. If your family is hiking in the forest with boots and trekking poles, that's great! If your family takes an evening walk around the neighborhood, that counts too! (Coyote students are encouraged to track their miles walked during the New York excursion.) Due to popular demand, biking can count as well. Move your body, be active, and record those miles!
Please have your child find sponsors (friends, relatives, neighbors, etc.) to sponsor them based on the miles they intend to walk or pledge a specific amount to donate.
Use the Hike-a-thon form to record your sponsor information OR ask them to make a pledge on your runsignup.com account.
The child should send in the forms and money by the week of April 6th.
