Another year in the books and so much has happened, thanks to ALL of you who got there and tried a new sport, shared your beta, helped clean up a beach and on and on. Here's a brief recap of our favorite 2016 moments:

February 2016

CORE Conference bringing together the leaders of the outdoor industry in NYC to discuss, plan, and connect around issues and opportunities for more outdoor recreation in our city.

The Mappy Hour Community Hub launches with a brand new way to connect with your fellow outdoor enthusiasts both within your own city and in other cities with Mappy Hour hubs and we got a shout out in Outside Magazine.
