Thornton Hike 2019

In 2019, Crosswinds Adventures marked a significant milestone in the world of competitive hiking with the inaugural Thornton Hike. This groundbreaking event not only tested the limits of adventure enthusiasts but also showcased our commitment to making a positive impact on our community and the environment.

Sri Lanka’s First Competitive Hike: The Thornton Hike 2019 was a trailblazing moment for Sri Lanka, as it was the nation’s very first competitive hiking competition. This event captured the hearts and spirits of adventure seekers from across the country and beyond.

Teams and 15 Individuals: The event attracted an impressive turnout, with 20 teams and 15 individuals participating in the daredevilry. Each participant embarked on a daring 21-kilometer hike through the challenging terrain of the Devos Staircase and Nagrack Mountains. The rugged landscapes and natural beauty of Sri Lanka served as the backdrop for this epic adventure.

Rewarding Excellence: The Thornton Hike 2019 wasn’t just about the thrill of competition; it was about celebrating excellence. The winning teams and individuals were not only crowned champions but were also awarded an unforgettable vacation in Thailand, complete with cash prizes. These rewards served as tokens of our appreciation for their dedication and determination.

A Cause Close to Our Hearts: Beyond the adrenaline rush and the winners’ accolades, the Thornton Hike 2019 held a deeper purpose. The profits generated from this remarkable project were dedicated to a noble cause – building sanitary facilities at a primary school. This initiative aimed to improve the educational environment for the children in our community, ensuring that they have access to clean and hygienic facilities.

A Legacy of Adventure and Impact: The Thornton Hike 2019 remains etched in our history as a testament to the power of adventure, community, and giving back. It exemplified how adventure can be a force for positive change, leaving a lasting legacy not only in the hearts of participants but also in the lives of those touched by our CSR efforts.

As we look back on this remarkable event, we carry the spirit of Thornton Hike 2019 forward in all our future adventures. It reminds us that every step taken on the path of adventure has the potential to create ripples of positive change in the world.
