Find Your Best Self Outside.
Have the confidence to say "yes."
Five Miles Further is a training ground and community for those ready to move past the crowded trailheads and into the true backcountry. We believe that feeling safe and capable outdoors comes from a single source: Preparation.
Our approach integrates fitness and skills into one practice. We help you build the lungs to handle the elevation and the wisdom to handle the unexpected.
Whether you are training 1:1 to lead your family with confidence, or joining the community to find a trusted partner for the trail, we provide the support to help you cross the gap between "I hope I can" and "I know I can."

Join a team dedicated to building the fitness, skills, and strategy required to stay safe and capable in the backcountry.

What Our Adventurers Are Saying
"What a wonderful trip this was! Our guide, Lee, was so knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect backpacking trail. We went over 4th of July weekend and didn't see a single person on the trail."
– Chris S., Google Review
"Lee and Gigi were the best! They really helped the group power through the tougher parts of the hike while still being in the moment. I also really liked the dynamic stretching and the explaining that went into why we are moving the way we are."
