What is Trek Tent City?

Trek Tent City is the heart of the excitement at Camp Burgess on Saturday during the Autumn Escape Bike Trek! After riding, join us for a festival-style celebration where we set up tents for our top fundraising teams and sponsors to decorate and select the Most Spirited Team to receive an award during the Spirit of the Trek Mission Program.

Spirit of the Trek Mission Program

Saturday, September 28 at 4:30 p.m.

At the end of Trek Tent City, join us for the Spirit of the Trek — a mission-focused program where we honor those affected by lung disease, hear from inspirational speakers with strong ties to our mission, and give updates about how the dollars you raise are supporting the American Lung Association’s research, education and advocacy efforts. Achieving our mission is only made possible through our shared spirit and passion for saving lives and making a difference together.
