2021 OT Hike and Float Challenge
2021-09-11 08:00 - 19:00 UTC | Round Spring Campground, Eminence, MO, United States
The OT Hike and Float Challenge is not just a great time, it’s our largest fundraiser. Now in its fifth year, the event has generated $90,000 to help maintain Missouri’s longest trail. This year we’ve shortened the hike and added a float leg to the event.
What is it? The Hike and Float Challenge is a fundraiser AND a hike-and-float adventure. Each registered hiker commits to raising $1,250 for the Ozark Trail Association and participates in the Current River Challenge, an 8-mile hike from Round Spring Campground through Echo Bluff State Park to Current River State Park, and return to Round Spring via a Current River float.
What if I don’t like to float, or I can’t hike 8 miles? Don’t worry! You can still raise funds for the OTA and be a “virtual” hiker/floater. What a great way to support the organization!
What if I don’t reach my fundraising goal? Don’t worry! It’s easier than you think! There are plenty of current and past participants that are willing to share their techniques and success stories. It is a fundraiser, so we need you to make a good-faith effort. You can start by reaching out to family and friends and sponsors are the simplest and quickest way to achieve success!
What’s in it for me? The best part of this fundraiser is the camaraderie of the group dedicated to supporting the OT and the OTA! You’ll be treated to a festive weekend with free camping, free food, fellowship, campfire, music and all sorts of OTA/HIke and Float Challenge swag.
Where is the event? The hike portion is scheduled leave Round Spring Campground near Eminence, MO 8AM Saturday, September 11, 2021. Camping will be available to participants Friday night, September 10 through Sunday morning, September 12.
How do I get involved? If you’d like to be a part of this exciting event, email otchallengehike@staging.ozarktrail.com for more information.
