FAQs
Are There Prizes For Participating?
YES! Each participant will get a customized Pepperdine PCT sticker and bandana just for signing up and participating! Each team that passes a milestone by it's deadline will be entered into a raffle drawing with winners announced at the awards ceremony at the end of the expedition. Some prize examples for milestone raffle winners will be Ultralite Nalgenes, hammocks, beanies, backpacking chairs, and hiking daypacks. The further and faster you travel along the trail, the better the prizes get! The winner of the 2025 Virtual PCT Expedition will be dictated by whichever team reaches the border of Canada (2,650 miles) FIRST!
