​

Squatch Together supports runners and hikers who want support at our events. Whether you are new to trail running or would feel safer being paired with someone before, during, or after a race, Squatch Together is about making sure no one has to show up alone.

​

How It Works

Runners and hikers who would like support can opt in, and community members who have volunteered to help can opt in as support buddies. Using the information collected through our interest forms, we thoughtfully pair people based on comfort level, pace, experience, and the type of support requested. Before race day, we will introduce buddies to each other so there is time to connect, ask questions, and set expectations. Support may look different for different people. It can include meeting at the start, pacing part or all of the course, checking in during the event, or reconnecting at the finish.

​
