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.
Simply put, fastpacking is the merger between ultrarunning and lightweight backpacking. It's a niche sport that has garnered much attention over the last decade in response to athletes' desire to go longer, faster, and lighter - especially in the form of Fastest Known Time speed records.
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.
We are kicking off a new series of tips to finding joy in the everyday, through running. Think of it as a how-to guide, or manifesto outlining actions to take, things to acknowledge and ways to elevate the daily run routine and transform it into something more, something special.
This ain’t no Bop-It, but it’s just as fun. Introducing our latest piece of outerwear and essential protective layer — the ultralight and ultra-deployable Zephyr Runner.
Enough wishful thinking and back to our steadfast commitment to optimism, human potential, and perpetual forward motion. 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 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.
