Trail Daze of Summer is Back in 2026!
We're stoked to announce our partnership with On the Road and Off and Black Diamond for the Trail Daze of Summer Stewardship Series — and it's going to be a sweaty, buggy good time chocked full of type 2 fun!
This series of Trail Daze events leans into everything that makes summer in the Southeast... special. The heat. The bugs. The poison ivy. We embrace the suffer fest and give back to the climbing areas we love — so they're in stellar shape come climbing season this fall.
Here's How It Works:
Attend a Trail Daze event = Score awesome on-site giveaways from Black Diamond
Attend any 3 trail days this summer (doesn't have to be a Trail Daze event) = Get entered to win big prizes at our End of Daze Party on August 29th in Boone, NC
The TLDR: Show up to a Trail Daze event and walk away with free stuff. Can't make a Trail Daze event? Attend at least 3 trail days this summer and you're in the running for epic prizes at the end-of-summer party on August 29th in Boone.
