Get Out More Tour

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Boulder, Colo. (March 2014) - Backpacker Magazine announces the launch of the 14th annual Get Out More Tour, an interactive mobile media and education outreach program designed to inspire readers and encourage participation in active outdoor pursuits. Backpacker Mag's Head Quarters are in Boulder, Colorado but we will be in Chattanooga for this event on May 6, at 6:30pm at Rock/Creeck at 2 North Shore. We would love to mingle with more media such as yourself and hope to see you there!

The Get Out More Tour collaborates with specialty outdoor retailers who share the same education and outreach ethic with their customers. At each retail stop, the Get Out More Tour brings the pages of Backpacker Magazine to life with a 75-minute seminar on trip planning, choosing the right outdoor gear and apparel, safety in the outdoors and more.

The Get Out More Tour is traveling to over 60 locations across the United States to bring BACKPACKER's skills, gear and trip advice to life for our audience of outdoor enthusiasts.

Backpacker Magazine’s mission is to inspire and enable people to enjoy the outdoors by providing the most trusted and engaging information about outdoor adventure in North America. For a complete list of Get Out More Tour events and locations, please visit backpacker.com/getoutmore.
