Mission Statement:
The Vasque PROJECT is about giving back, developing relationships and contributing to trail PROJECTs, and parks in every PROJECT community. It is about protecting our trails, supporting our athletes, and providing outdoor enthusiasts with an opportunity to establish and nurture their relationship with nature.

The Vasque PROJECT 2009 is equal part competition, community, and stewardship. Through sponsorship of trail races from coast to coast, we have created a greater community of runners who are dedicated to the advancement of the sport and the preservation of the land they run. It is here on the trail that Vasque has built its foundation.

The Blackfoot Ultra raises money for the Friends of Blackfoot and the Strathcona Wilderness Centre Trail Runs raise funds and awareness of the programs the Strathcona Wilderness Centre runs though out the year.

 

 

 

 

PROJECT Thanks:

PROJECT Thanks is a grassroots program started by Vasque footwear to help preserve and protect trails in local communities nationwide. Aligned with every race series within its event-marketing program, the Vasque PROJECT, PROJECT Thanks drives awareness and donations to marquee nonprofit groups working to preserve trails across the country. The program encourages Vasque’s race partners to donate a portion of collected race fees to local trail organizations and Vasque has pledged to match the collected amount corporately.  Vasque also helps race partners promote this program to participants, as it is their registration in the race that initiates the giving. Through PROJECT Thanks, the community of racers are to able to join together and help the cause of preserving the trails they run on.  The Vasque PROJECT 2009, co-supported by BOA Lacing Systems, is an effort to foster competition, community, and stewardship through 45 trail races in 12 states and Canada.
