2023 Outdoor Vitals 100 Mile Challenge Partners

How Does the OV 100 Work?


There is extreme value in pushing yourself to new levels. Setting a new Personal Record is always gratifying and often surprising! This summer we'd like to help you experience what you may not have previously thought possible.


We get it.


With families, day jobs, & a myriad of other responsibilities it's hard to spend a lot of time out on the trail. Most thru-hikes are out of the question!


Or are they?


The OV 100 Challenge 2023 is designed to help push you beyond your current limits to accomplish something great. With an interactive training framework, regular Zoom calls, and support from other challenge participants, this challenge event can help you finish a dream hike this summer!


Here's how it works:

-You set your own goals you want to reach (choose the trail you've been wanting to hike, how long you want it to take, etc.)

-We provide the interactive framework that will help you plan, prepare, & train.

-Throughout training, share updates & give encouragement to other participants in the private Challenge Group to keep motivation high

-During the trip window (June 16th through July 23rd) we all hit the trail together!

-After reaching goals, building comradery, & connecting with the outdoors during our trips, finishers will receive their finisher prizes.


Whether you're a casual or advanced hiker, the training framework is personalized for you. With over 70 years of combined experience, we're giving you everything you need for better planning, training, & execution.

About Skratch Labs

While working as a sport scientist and coach for a professional cycling team, Dr. Allen Lim started making his own training food and sports drinks from scratch for the cyclists because too many of the pre-packaged sports bars and drinks that were marketed or given to them were laden with artificial ingredients and literally making them sick to their stomach. Skratch labs makes sports nutrition designed to help you perform better without offending your gut or your taste buds because we use real food, starting from scratch.
