Human Powered Movement Competitions - FAQs


Why Competitions?

  • Our mission is to inspire more activity in people's lives. Each of these events do exactly that
  • Our events truly have an impact on the community as a whole
    • We source giveaways and prizes locally and sustainably to support local and small businesses
    • We bring friends, families, and communities together 
    • We give back to local non-profits that have an impact in their work
  • There are countless "traditional" events out there. We  produce non-traditional events for those looking for something extra or a way to stretch their human powered capabilities.
  • We get the same thrill out of these events as the participants!

How do these competitions support non-profits?

  • 100% of additional donations during registration go to the event's beneficiary who are each doing incredible environmental work in their own areas of expertise
  • We collect old shirts (cotton, polyester, blended) to be recycled in Recover's 360 Closed Loop Apparel Recycling Program 
  • We collect old sneakers to be recycled/repurposed with GotSneakers.
  • As of 2024, HPM events are proudly "Cup Free" to reduce our environmental impact
  • As of 2025, HPM events are proudly "Safety Pin Free". Read more about this initiative HERE.
