JOIN A CHALLENGE AND HELP US FUEL A CHILD’S FUTURE
May 1 - September 15
A summer-long challenge to run, walk, bike, or hike your favorite routes, stack miles with your crew, and turn every single mile into meals for kids. If you are moving in the wild, you are helping fight hunger and feed the future.
$1 CAN HELP PROVIDE UP TO 10 MEALS FOR CHILDREN
For millions of kids, proper nutrition is the difference between falling behind and charging ahead. We direct funds to partners with proven impact, trusted transparency, and efficient operations. 100% of the donations from participants in RipLine Challenges go directly to our giving partners—meaning every dollar you give through Challenges like Miles in the Wild™ goes straight to fueling the next generation. A $100 donation can provide meals for about 1,000 children who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
Our giving partners are top‑rated hunger‑relief charities with long‑standing relationships with food manufacturers, distributors, growers, and producers. They source food at well below retail, receive significant in‑kind food donations, and benefit from corporate giving programs that drive their cost‑per‑meal way down. We rally athletes and raise funds. They feed kids efficiently. Combined, every dollar you raise stretches far further than it would through any single channel. The 10‑meals‑per‑dollar figure is consistent with our top partners' publicly stated math.
WHAT WE DO
MOBILIZE ATHLETES
We invite skiers, runners, hikers, walkers, cyclists and weekend warriors to dedicate their miles and vertical feet to help feed children.
CONVERT EFFORT INTO IMPACT
Participants and supporters pledge donations tied to distance, vert, or personal goals.
FUEL CHILDHOOD
RipLine channels 100% of those funds to trusted partners who turn dollars into meals, micronutrients, and better health for kids.
HOW WE WORK
While many of us lace up shoes, click into skis, or hop on a bike after work, millions of children are trying to grow, learn, and dream on empty or underfed stomachs. RipLine is here to change that. With the help of our giving partners, RipLine gives to kids in need so they can excel.

THE GOOD NEWS
Signing up to participate in a RipLine challenge is easy and it looks a lot like what you’d be doing anyway – around town, on weekends, weeknights, or whenever you can squeeze in a workout. The miles you’d walk or run, the hills you’d bike, the tee times you’d book, or the vert you’d ski, can all add up to meals for kids — you just need a goal to chase, a reason to chase it, and some killer tools to make helping kids fun and easy. We’ve got your back on all fronts!
THE REALLY GOOD NEWS
We kept the math simple – every dollar raised from a RipLine challenge provides up to 10 meals for children in need. The math works because our giving partners are charities that specialize in feeding and nourishing kids and have deep supply chains that allow them to source food well below normal cost. The result: more meals, real impact.
EVEN BETTER GOOD NEWS
This isn’t a pitch, it’s an invitation. It’s an invitation for you to combine something you already love with something that can actually make a difference. It’s an invitation to combine intention and effort with purpose, and by the way, that’s what being in the RipLine is all about!
Our community of outdoor athletes is one of the most generous, passionate, and powerful communities in the country – and we’d love for you to join the fight against childhood hunger.
