“Everesting” is not a race against others; it's a journey of self-discovery, pushing you to face your doubts and limitations. That’s exactly what sets 29029 apart; it's a unique challenge that involves hiking up and down mountains - Sun Valley, Jackson Hole, Whistler, and many more around the world - for 36 hours, striving to climb 29,029 vertical feet, the equivalent of Mount Everest.  Marc Hodulich, co-founder of 29029, shares how the concept emerged from measuring workouts by vertical feet gained, not distance. It's a fresh perspective that transforms personal growth and community building. Lindsay Wojciechowski, a family nurse practitioner, participated in the first “Everesting” challenge.
