Keynote Speaker: Karin Pocock  - Ultra Endurance Athlete and Outdoor Educator 

Karin has dedicated over a decade of this to working as an instructor, course director and staff trainer for Outward Bound schools across western North America in addition to her guiding. She began working professionally in the mountains in 2002 and has spent the last 16 years as an outdoor educator, instructor, technical guide, ski patroller and avalanche forecaster.  

This past year, she crossed the 10,000-mile mark on her bike, a milestone that came right after claiming a podium finish in the Tour Divide, a grueling race from Canada to Mexico. Between worn-out tires, countless chains, and more than a few scrapes, Karin’s season has been one of both challenge and triumph. 

 Her presentation, 10,000 Miles of Discovery, will take us along her journey through vast, rugged landscapes and inside the mindset that fuels her resilience. It’s an invitation to reflect on how pushing our physical and emotional limits can lead to growth, confidence, and connection with the natural world.
