Columbia Sportswear Celebrates Outdoor Adventure for Youth
Embracing the Outdoors with Columbia Sportswear's Hike Party
Columbia Sportswear recently hosted an exhilarating outdoor festival that brought together over 3,000 enthusiastic participants in an event like no other. The 2025 Hike Party in Chongli was the perfect blend of hiking, trail running, orienteering, and live music. Participants explored the beautiful trails while engaging in various outdoor activities designed to challenge and entertain.
An Immersive Experience for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Launched in 2024, the Hike Party has quickly become a signature event for Columbia Sportswear, aimed at bringing the philosophy of "GO INTO NATURE, UNLOCK YOUR NATURE" to life. The second edition of the festival introduced a team orienteering challenge for the first time. Participants formed groups of three or four to navigate the trails with maps and compasses. Trails featured a variety of opportunities, including hiking, trail running, and a special family track, all designed to add excitement and engagement to the outdoor experience.
Celebrating Team Spirit and Community
Columbia’s brand ambassadors, Qiming Jiang and Jingyi Zhang, actively joined participants on the course, engaging in the team challenges and the festival's lively evening activities. This year, more than 2,000 adventurers from various regions participated, showcasing the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie. Many brought along friends and family to share in the enjoyment of nature.
Live Music Ignites the Festival Atmosphere
Music was a highlight of the festival, with performances by popular Chinese bands such as Dada, Berlin Psycho Nurses, The Hormones, KAWA, and Neon Garden. The stunning alpine backdrop set the stage for a vibrant open-air concert, where the energy of live music complemented the day's adventures. A creative marketplace also emerged, featuring local food, crafts, and games, providing additional fun beyond the trails.
A Unique Outdoor Experience
“The Hike Party was incredible! Exploring the trails, completing challenges with my team, and enjoying live music in the mountains made it a truly unique outdoor experience,” expressed Jun Liu, a participant. Attendees shared their excitement and appreciation for an adventure that blended nature with community.
Honoring the Legacy of Innovation
In addition to the festivities, Columbia Sportswear took the opportunity to showcase its renowned Interchange System, the original 3-in-1 jacket concept that has been a staple of the brand since the 1980s. From the classic Bugaboo Parka to the latest adaptations, Columbia's innovative designs continue to support outdoor enthusiasts in various weather conditions.
