Offering adventure, enrichment & service learning for Dine' youth!
 

22nd Tour de Rez, Shiprock Marathon & miles of trails . . . coming in 2012!

2012 looks to be a pretty good year in Dine' Bikeyah. Here are some of the events that we think might make it onto the highlight reel by the end of the year -   

* The 22nd annual Tour de Rez will cover 1000 miles on and provide hundreds of hours of service to the rez throughout June and July.  All the details, route and sign-up info will be available in February.  A summary of last year's journey is available on the "Tour de Rez" link on the homepage and pics of the Tour and other outings are in the "Photo Albums".

*  Shiprock Marathon will be operated by NavajoYES this year.  We have exciting plans to enhance the race experience!  And we hope to be able to promote running in communities across the rez through the marathon and to provide outreach to schools.  Race day is Saturday, May 5.  Visit the website - www.shiprockmarathon.com

* Our network of trails continues to grow and we hope to reach out to more communities than ever with this program in 2012.  We have funding from BHP-Billiton and support from National Wildlife Federation for the new year.

* Grand Canyon treks (including a rim-to-rim, fall treks and winter camping), a Rainbow Bridge backpack, Naatsisaan summit hikes, race trips to Nevada & Grand Canyon, community group runs, multiple Twin Falls hikes and lots of school visits . . . .all coming up in the next 12 months.  Should be a great one!
