HBM Adventures and J. Wills Coaching are teaming up for an epic hike to push ourselves in 2021! New year, new adventures! Let’s get strong(er) together.

The hike is 21km (13 miles) and will traverse part of Appalachian Trail, within a 1 hour drive of Washington, D.C. During the hike, Melissa and Jennifer will lead a discussion about sustainability topics and create space for networking and relationship building among hikers. As a certified professional coach, Jennifer will engage those who are interested in one-on-one or group coaching. (She calls it “Nature Roaming” :) It’s a win-win-win! Get stronger. Make new friends and professional contacts. Experience professional coaching and the personal growth that comes along with it. After the hike, we'll head to a nearby brewery for a beer or non-alcoholic beverage.

We will have two optional, virtual meet ups before the event to talk about how to train, what to bring, and to learn more about each of you. Those will be weekday evenings in February and March.

Registration is limited to 10. Sign up soon!

Gear provided upon request: Day backpack and trekking poles
