Strong Community and Nonprofit Support
Cycle 5 to Survive Partnership:
A key aspect of Explorer Series’ community engagement is its partnership with nonprofits.

This event is a virtual distance challenge where solo or team participants can walk, hike, run, or cycle the distance, receiving digital badges and virtual postcards from along the real route as they progress. Explorer Series can create distance challenges based on any real route or point-to-point journey anywhere in the world.
Support for Nonprofits:
Explorer Series has raised funds for organizations like the Canadian Red Cross and the SPCA, showcasing its strong commitment to giving back. This community-centric approach not only supports local economies but also fosters a sense of belonging and contribution among participants.

Success Stories and Testimonials
Customer feedback speaks volumes about the success and impact of Explorer Series events. Here are some testimonials from satisfied participants, all 5-star reviews on Google:
“I love getting out on the trails but am always a bit apprehensive trying new trails without having someone with me who has done it before. That’s why I was excited when I heard about this challenge. I really appreciated the guide that came with the registration. It told me everything I needed to know about the upcoming trail and with detailed directions for the trail route so I always knew what I was getting into. 8 of the 10 trails I had never done before so that was awesome! Looking forward to the fall challenge!” – Google Review
“I’ve really enjoyed this 10 trail challenge. I found hikes and eateries I otherwise likely would not have known about. Thanks to the Explorer Series team for putting this initiative out there..I’ll be looking for any additional challenges, down the road! 😊” – Google Review
