A Sporting Chance
Give our history a sporting chance! Join The History Center in Tompkins County in a celebration of local history through a sporting lens. In celebration of our current exhibit, A Sporting Chance: On and Off the Field, this year's Traverse Tompkins encourages our supporters to build your own course exploring our local sports history. From the Farmer's Market, the home for the International Rutabaga Curl, to Lynah Rink, our community is full of local sports history. As you explore local history, you can also make a difference in preserving it by asking others to support your effort - whether you're going 1 mile or 287 miles!
Traverse Tompkins is an outdoor exploration of local history to benefit The History Center. Gather friends and family to cheer you on as you traverse your own route tying together local sports. Every mile counts - whether its a 2 mile walk, a half-marathon run, or a century cycling ride! We've got a starter map highlighting some of the spaces featured in our current exhibit - but we're excited for everyone to share more history through a sporting lens while building your own virtual race!
Here's How It Works!
There are two ways to participate and join the effort to keep our history alive.
Option 1: Sign up for free and commit to asking your community for pledges to support your travels. Fueled by your obvious love for history and Tompkins County, reach out to your friends, family, and colleagues to pledge their support for your challenge. Their pledge - of any amount - gets calculated after you complete your mileage.
Option 2: Register as a Traverser! Asking for pledges isn't for everyone, but Traverse Tompkins should be. Your ticket price goes directly towards supporting The History Center's mission, and you still get to support our work saving history.
