“The Adventure Grant will facilitate a dream trip for one of our readers,” said GearJunkie founder Stephen Regenold. “I am psyched to launch the program, and beyond just the winner I hope that it can motivate everyone to think bigger this year around the outdoors and adventure.”
In addition to the grant money, the prize includes training equipment from sponsor NordicTrack. The winner will pick any current trainer model to help achieve their goal. The winners choice of NordicTrack equipment includes a range of NordicTrack products, including extreme treadmills that incline to 40%, rowers, and studio cycles, to name a few, and a yearlong subscription to iFit connected fitness.
Judges will pick eight finalists, and GearJunkie readers will vote for their favorites. The winner will go on their Dream Adventure, announced on April 1, 2019.
