Adventure Challenge 2015 Wrap Up

10.21.2015

This past summer we hosted the 4th annual Weekend Sherpa Adventure Challenge, sponsored by Alaska Airlines. Your mission: Get outdoors! Do any three adventures from Weekend Sherpa, post photos to our Facebook page or on Instagram (#WeekendSherpa) and get a free Weekend Sherpa wicking T-shirt made by The North Face and a tote bag, along with other cool stuff—including a chance to win the Grand Prize: 2 round-trip tickets to anywhere Alaska Airlines flies from California (and they fly to a lot of places, including Mexico, Hawaii, and Costa Rica!). The winner was Jeff E. (pictured), from Los Angeles. This year's Adventure Challenge saw a record number of participation, with more than 1,600 adventures completed. Weekend Sherpa readers who participated brought along friends, family, significant others, even pet dogs got in on the action! Congratulations! You guys make the outdoors awesome. #WeekendSherpa
