Hiking to help keep our trails clean
Given the location of our design centre, at the foot of Mont-Blanc, protecting our outdoor playground is something we're passionate about in Quechua.
In 2018, we launched HIKE: a sporting, civic-minded day that helps you (re)discover the joys of hiking while also helping the planet by picking up litter.
4 years later, thousands of hikers have taken part in HIKES, during Decathlon events as well as "World Clean Up Day", organized by the company.

Hike up ⛰ - pick up 👋
Our sporting and civic challenge!
We want to encourage more hikers to help protect our natural playgrounds and our hiking trails, in particular, throughout the year.
How? The idea is simple!
1) Every time you go hiking, whether close to home or on the other side of the world (all health regulations prohibit littering), think “Hike Up, Pick Up”.
Before setting off, when packing your hiking backpack, remember to add a small bag, gloves and hyroalcoholic gel so you can pick up any rubbish that you encounter en route.
2) At the end of your hike, share your litter yield by using the #hikeuppickup and by referencing the @Quechua account on social media networks. Remember to tag friends or family members to encourage them to follow your initiative when they're next out hiking, or go with them to show them the way.
Hikes since 2018
The aim of the day? Protecting nature's playgrounds!
After three events, held in 2018, 2019 and 2021, involving nearly 6,000 hikers and more than 10 tonnes of rubbish collected across 170 Decathlon stores in France, the company is organizing a new national HIKE event for hikers to be held on the 21st May 2022
There's bound to be a Decathlon store near you, supporting the event.
