Unlike the protagonists in the film *So Young*, who miss out on love and dreams due to various reasons during their prime, the participants of the 2013 seventh edition of the “Endless Experience – Gore-Tex Outdoor Dreams Come True” event were blessed with more luck and courage. They pursued their dreams and chased youth at Tibet’s Labrang Monastery, the Kubuqi Desert, the streets of Spain, and atop the Cangshan Mountain in Dali, staging one “So Young”-inspired dream-meets-reality performance after another.
Youth may eventually fade, but dreams must keep moving forward. The submission period for the 2013 seventh edition of the “Endless Experience – Gore-Tex Outdoor Dreams Come True” event is drawing to a close. In this challenge to youth through dream submissions, there are thousands of “Old M’s” and “Zhou’s” who, inspired by courage and ambition, are striving to outline their outdoor dreams and commemorating their passionate youth through action.
Tips:The “Endless Experience – Gore-Tex Outdoor Dreams Come True” event originates from the Simpton-Thurman Fund established by Gore over twenty years ago in the United States, which is dedicated to helping explorers realize their dreams. Since its official launch in China in 2007, it has been successfully held for six editions, collecting a total of 13,705 outstanding travel proposals and involving nearly 160,000 participants. The seventh edition of the “Endless Experience – Gore-Tex Outdoor Dreams Come True” event is committed to “making every outdoor dream come true.” The proposal submission deadline is May 31, and it will produce 30 monthly champions across all main stations, 210 monthly champions across sub-stations, and six annual champions. The annual champion team will receive travel funding support from Gore as well as from its partners KOLON SPORT and Osprey.
