Do Hikers play alone or with a group at the 100 Hole Hike? What if a Hiker doesn't know anyone?

With this year's options to Hike as a team in a relay or tag in tag out format the opportunities are endless.

It’s your choice: Hike solo or with a group. This year offers team formats—split the holes evenly, go relay‑style, or use a tag‑in/tag‑out approach—the opportunities are endless. If you’re registering solo and don’t know anyone, no problem: Youth on Course will make sure you’re paired so you have someone to play with. The 100 Hole Hike is a welcoming community—most hikers finish the day with new friends.

Overview

Wondering how the 100 Hole Hike works for playing partners? You can design your day—go it solo for the full personal challenge, or team up to share the fun and the mileage. With expanded team options (even splits, relay, or tag‑in/tag‑out), it’s easy to craft a format that fits your goals. Coming alone? We’ll pair you up so you’re never on your own.

This article speaks to: prospective and returning hikers, plus team captains/corporate groups planning a format that keeps everyone moving.

Who This Is For

  • Solo hikers who want the full 100‑hole journey themselves.
  • Friends, families, and corporate teams who want to split the challenge and celebrate together.
  • First‑timers arriving without a partner who want to be matched into a friendly group.

Why People Choose Youth on Course

  • Flexible participation: Play solo or team up—the format adapts to you.
  • Community energy: Whether you arrive with a group or alone, you’ll meet supportive hikers.
  • Purpose with every swing: Funds raised power subsidized rounds, internships, and scholarships for young people.

How It Works

  1. Choose your format
    • Solo: Take on all 100 holes yourself.
    • Team (even split): Divide 100 holes among your group (e.g., 25 holes each for four hikers).
    • Team (relay): One hiker plays while others rest, then rotate—keep the ball (and fundraising) moving.
    • Team (tag‑in/tag‑out): Swap in/out at pre‑set holes or time intervals to keep pace and energy high.
  2. Register your plan
    • When you sign up, indicate whether you are solo or on a team, and share any pairing preferences.
  3. No partner? We’ll pair you
    • If you don’t know anyone at your Hike location, we will group you with compatible hikers so you’re supported from the first tee to your final putt.
  4. Play your day
    • Follow on‑site guidance for pacing, safety, and etiquette. Enjoy the challenge—and the camaraderie.

When to Get Involved

  • You’re deciding between a solo challenge and a team format.
  • You’re building a corporate/friends team and want a format everyone can enjoy.
  • You’re registering alone and want to be placed with other hikers.

Helpful Tips

  • Match pace: Choose partners with a similar walking speed and approach to breaks.
  • Plan your relay: For team formats, agree on rotation points (e.g., every 6–9 holes) and a simple communication plan.
  • Share your “why”: Your story fuels donations—post updates and thank supporters along the way.
