TennGreen Land Conservancy’s sixth annual Hike-a-Thon is taking place during the entire month of April 2026. This month-long competition is free to register and supports the protection of our lands and waters—where people and nature can thrive.

While the Hike-a-Thon benefits Tennessee nature, participants can adventure and compete from anywhere in the world. The event includes numerous individual and team competitions for hikers, paddlers, trail runners, climbers, off-road bikers, nature photographers, and more. The Hike-a-Thon welcomes everyone, whether you're an experienced outdoor adventurer or simply looking for a fun way to spend more time outside.

So many incredible prizes are up for grabs this year! Thanks to generous conservation partners, Hike-a-Thoners can win big—think an Eddyline Kayak, a year of Bongo Java coffee, plus hiking gear and gift cards galore. You’ll also have chances to win unforgettable outdoor experiences, from guided fly fishing with Hellbender Outfitters to a tri-toon boat rental at Wildwood Resort & Marina, or adventure passes to Cumberland Caverns, Foggy Bottom Canoe & Kayak, or the Tennessee Aquarium.

Proceeds from the Hike-a-Thon benefit TennGreen Land Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit and the oldest accredited statewide land conservancy in Tennessee.
