Celebrating hikers 80+ who are still inspiring others on the trail

Some hikers do more than log kilometres, they show us what a lifelong love of the trail looks like.

The Lifelong Hiker Badge celebrates hikers who are 80 years of age and older, have spent a lifetime enjoying hiking, and are still getting out on the trail today. They inspire fellow hikers with their energy, their stories, and their example — proving that hiking can be a joy that lasts a lifetime.

Are you that hiker? Or do you know someone who is?
Help celebrate with this special badge. And psst … when you apply, we’d love to hear the secret to hiking at 80+.
