About us

We are a diverse and inclusive group of plant-powered, adventure-seeking, multi-racial, mixed-aged folks who work hard to live healthy and play even harder!.
We don't believe in being "too old" to try something new or "too young" to try something old school.
If you are looking to hang with a group that "steps outside of their comfort zone" to embrace a new sport, activity, challenge, food, culture...you found the right group.
#PantherNation is our name....#BERELENTLESS is our game
We organize "FitTrips" that have a vegan flavor. We are socially conscious about the food we eat to fuel ourselves and the locations/environment we visit.
We hike, cycle, mountain bike, kayak, EAT, paddle board, ski, horseback ride, fly kites, mini golf...
WHAT'S ON YOUR LIST? Let us know and we'll try and work it in!

| Groundhog Day feels like a friendly nudge from nature to step back out—not just into longer days, but back to the people who make life more fun.

Go for a walk with a neighbor, grab a shake with your bestie, text your favorite workout buddy. 

Let community be the spark that pulls you out of winter mode." (Quote from KaChava)
