PORT ANGELES – The United Way of Clallam County is starting a new program to encourage people to get outdoors and explore our local hiking trails for a good cause.

HIKE UNITED is also being sponsored by MOSS and Sound Community Bank. The event runs from June 21 to July 31. Registration is just $30 per person and hikers will receive a limited-edition shirt and membership to a private Facebook group.

Each time you hike you’ll post pictures and stories online and be entered to win prizes on a weekly basis. Prizes include gift certificates to local businesses like Granny’s, Peninsula Taproom, Swains, Country Aire and Angeles Brewing.

Registration opens Monday, May 10th. To learn more call 360-457-3011 or go to unitedwayclallam.org/united-we-hike.
