Conservation Stories: Montrail Supports Conservation With Costumes

The work at Conservation Alliance wouldn't be possible without all of our outdoor industry brand members. But a lot of them aren't only involved with Conservation Alliance; many of our member brands are committed to a diverse variety of environmental causes. Every Thursday we'll be featuring a cross-post from one of our member companies to highlight the causes that they're active in. Since we're still reeling from last week's Outdoor Retailer, this week's feature gets a special OR theme: a synopsis of Montrail's Wasatch Wobble, complete with costume photos.

Montrail hosted the 15th annual Wasatch Wobble 5k at the Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City last week. OR attendees signed up by making a $10 donation to the Conservation Alliance, and then showed up early Thursday morning decked out in Superhero costume and ready for some fun. Course challenges included a push-up station at mile 1 (minimum of 5 for women, 10 for men) and a contest to see who can carry the largest rock across the finish line. There were also 4 kittens stuck in trees throughout the course, and runners had a chance to be heros and save the kittens. Thanks for playing everyone! We had a blast. Here’s some photos, we’ll get more up as soon as we can.
