Since Skurka and Sam are both out on WT2-LDB right now I figured I’d take up the slack.

Admit it. Part of you has always wanted to be a model athlete.

Here’s your chance to be featured on our new website. GoLite has a new website, and we’re ready to embark on a new adventure. So we’re launching a contest to find four everyday athletes to be featured on our website and in our ads. Not to mention, you’ll get a load of free gear if you’re chosen.

Here’s how you do it. Go to golite.com and take a look at our current model athletes. Notice each athlete has their own “Therefore I GoLite” headline, which describes how they live sustainably or inspire others to get outdoors. Using their headlines as examples, pen your own “Therefore I GoLite” line that tells the world how you live the GoLite values.

Enter to win. Email us your personal story at howdoyou@golite.com. What’s your outdoor passion? Trail-running? Hiking? Backpacking? Backcountry Touring? Traveling? Tell us how you inspire others to get outdoors and/or how you are making a difference by living an eco-friendly lifestyle. Tell us about your favorite trail, and why the people you hang out with would tell us you are the perfect candidate. Then attach a couple photos of you in the outdoors. Make sure you tell us your name and where you live. Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to include your handspun “Therefore I GoLite” line into the subject of your email. Just for sending us your story, we’ll email you a coupon code for 25% off at golite.com. And four of you will be chosen to win $500 worth of GoLite gear and your place in GoLite history as a mod-lete.

Too much trouble for you, that’s OK. You can support what we’re doing by becoming a Facebook fan. Just leave us a comment with your “Therefore I GoLite” line, and we’ll hook you up with a 15% off coupon. Just for showing us a little love.

Enter today. You’ve got from now until the 28th to enter, so take a tiny break from the trail and get on it. Oh, and tell your friends.

Submissions will be accepted from 9/3/2009 until 9/28/2009. GoLite will select each of the four winners who must reside in the U.S. Click here to read the official contest rules and regulations.

Shouldn't that say:
"I carry my wife's gear, therefore SHE goes lite"?

I like where this is going. Are you all submitting these for the competition?

Ironically, that is how I look the morning after two bottles of scotch.

"I buy from companies making the products lighter, not heavier, therefore I don't Golite"

Ryan: "Shouldn't that say:
"I carry my wife's gear, therefore SHE goes lite"?

Yeah I guess….she definately goes lite and I still try to, so I don't wind up dead.

"Are you submitting these?"
No….Canadian's aren't allowed to enter :(

How about "I'm fat, therefore (in a misguided attempt to offset my lack of conditioning and diet) I GoLite. Think I'll win?

Agreed about the "GoHeavy" comments. Don't call your darn company GoLite if you're making great packs (Jam 2 and Pinnacle) heavier. I'm glad I picked up the '08 Pinnacle at a clearance sale, because the '09 has all this ridiculous crap on it adding ounces.
