Conquer The Canyon was
created for ONE PURPOSE! To provide highly regarded
local, regional, national and international non-profit organizations
with a new, unique and successful fundraising opportunity. A
program and adventure so exciting, that their members, volunteers,
supporters and donors would literally come out of their seats
to support.
We are proud to tell you that
since it's creation and operation in 2003, more than 3300 participants
have hiked the Grand Canyon with Conquer The Canyon and have
collectively raised over $17,000,000 in support of non-profit
organizations that are seeking to cure everything from cancer
to arthritis.
And, Conquer The Canyon is GROWING!

Conquer
The Canyon and The Grand Canyon!
Participants will have the opportunity
to experience the Grand Canyon on a personal level, up close,
one step at a time. From the gentle rolling hills of the rim,
to steep descents into the Canyon of up to 3200’, participants
will hike, walk and roll the trails accompanied by an expert
guide who will interpret the intricacies of the geology, history,
flora, fauna and environmental zones of the Canyon.
In complete step with nature,
Conquer The Canyon is a one of a kind adventure. There isn't
any MARATHON huppla and NO COMPETITION with a clock, against
other participants or even yourself. It's NOT a RACE of any
kind! It is you and your fellow teammates enjoying a self-paced
fantastic and challenging adventure in one of the most beautiful
places on Earth.
Conquer The Canyon was created,
developed and is operated by walking and hiking enthusiasts
just like you. Whether you are a firstime hiker or an experienced
and seasoned hiker and trekker, Conquer The Canyon is custom
built to meet the needs of every participant! YOU WANT a physical
challenge that will keep you focused, a mentally and emotionally
rewarding experience, a fun adventure with friends and a special
sense of accomplishment for participating in a fundraising program
of this magnitude.
YOU DON'T WANT a drill sergeant
hike leader, trainer or coach taking you on forced marches as
you prepare yourself for the Grand Canyon. Or to be crunched
up in the rush hour traffic and crowd of a marathon. And most
of all, you don't want someone to close down the "course"
because you didn't complete their event in record time. Grand
Canyon has been around for hundreds of millions of years, so
we're not likely to close it down on you! Conquer The
Canyon is not a cattle call and speed is discouraged. Better
to take the time, enjoy the challenges of the day one step at
a time and reflect on yours and your .ORG's mission!
