If your summer travels are inspired by sports events around the country, the Teva Mountain Games should be on your travel itinerary. Now in its seventh year, the Teva Mountain Games is the largest outdoor adventure sports festival in the United States. Read on to learn more about this festive multi-sport extravaganza.
What is the Teva Mountain Games?
Happening in Vail, Colorado, this high energy fitness event includes competitions in kayaking, rafting, mountain biking, road cycling, climbing, paragliding, fly-fishing, trail running, multi-sport
racing and there are even dog events. If it can be done in the mountains in the summer, the Teva Mountain Games will have it.
The event also includes an adventure photography contest called Mountain Click, an Apple- and Teva sponsored adventure film school, a mini-music festival and the Teva Mountain Ball. In addition, the
new Green Light district features five things you can do today to green your life and, in the green theme, all Teva Mountain Games vinyl banners will be upcycled this year and made into briefcases in a partnership with GreenGuru. And if you can’t get through the weekend without some craft brews, there will be a late night pub crawl featuring themed fundraiser parties.
