Casual Hikers 10k Walk/Run

Welcome to Casual Hikers!

Casual Hikers was formed to enable people to explore nature and experience new places, while forming lasting connections. We plan fun, no-fuss adventures across the world for people who’d rather be hiking the Ice Age Trail, paddling through Michigan's crystal-clear lakes, or eating snacks with a view of Lake Michigan near Chicago.

From the peaks of the Rockies, to the dunes of Indiana, and the winding trails in the Smokies, our trips are built for real explorers—whether you're a seasoned trekker or just want to escape the city for a weekend.

Think bonfires, starry skies, fresh air, muddy boots, and stories you’ll tell for years. We skip the rigid itineraries and cookie-cutter tours. You get the freedom to roam, with all the planning handled by us.

Let’s pack up and go!
