REI OPT OUTSIDE
FRI NOV 24, 2023
ALL DAY
ALL ALONG THE LHT
OPT OUTSIDE!
The Lawrence Hopewell Trail joins REI Co-Op in encouraging everyone to opt outside, rather than shopping on Black Friday, November 24, 2023.
Skip the mall and take a walk or a ride. If you find an OptOutside sign (pictured above) take a selfie with the poster. Submit your pic to be entered to win one of our prizes.
Since 2015, REI Co-op has closed on Black Friday and paid its employees to get outside. In the world of retail, this is an extraordinary move, but one the LHT admires. REI encourages its employees, its customers, and everyone to enjoy precious time outside. #OptOutside is not just about Black Friday. It has become a mindset. It is about choosing to spend more time outside all year round and recognizing the importance the outdoors has on our health and well-being.
The LHT and REI believe that this effort can play an important role in celebrating our shared enjoyment of the trail and the beauty of the outdoors. We encourage you to take this opportunity to get out on the trail, and to discover how much we have in common, not only with nature, but with each other.
Here’s how it works…
- Walk, ride, run & enjoy the LHT on Black Friday, November 24, 2023.
- When you encounter a Trail Mix poster (pictured), take a photo of yourself, friends, or family with the poster!
- Send the photo to: info@lhtrail.org or use a form to upload HERE.
- Congrats! You are entered to win a prize. Winners and photos will be shared on the LHT website.
Remember to be safe and share the trail. Thank you.
Feel free to contact us with questions at info@lhtrail.org.
