Fastpacking trips can take place anytime and anywhere. A follow-up article will outline some of the best routes in the U.S., but in the meantime there are a few factors you should consider when choosing your route...
Janji, Gossamer, COROS, Skratch Labs, Trail Butter, Sawyer, and Joe 'Stringbean' McConaughy want to help get you out on your first (or second or third) fastpacking trip, so we've put together a giveaway package of gear and nutrition worth $2000+ to get you going.

Meet Morgan—the newest Janji Field Team member. Morgan is a passionate public lands and environmental activist who devotes much of her writing and time to advocate, educate, and inspire others to help protect wild places.
We believe running is the best way to discover new places and rediscover familiar ones. It’s our way to connect with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Running is more than a sport, it's a mode of travel. Plus, it's an amazing way for us to lower our carbon footprint and reduce the impact that we have on the planet by relying on foot-powered movement instead of petroleum based vehicles.

Instead of arguing to change up the routine, we are recalibrating our perspective on the daily regime to seek new paths of elevating, transporting and finding joy in the everyday, through running.

As an exclusive project for our South Africa Collection, we could not have dreamed of a better partner to team up with: Balega's well-proven running socks are made in South Africa, and as a company Balega shares Janji's core value of giving back through running.
As runners, getting out and logging miles on local roads or trails is routine. We want to help ensure you feel the same way about voting this November 3.
Waterproof layers do not often equate to running comfort when you're hot and sweaty. We strategically designed our Rainrunner Pack Jacket to solve for this by integrating 360º venting around your core, where you need it most.
