We Replace Anxiety with Competence.Permalink
Five Miles Further is not just a distance; it is the threshold where the crowds thin out and the real growth begins.
Most people stop at the trailhead because they lack two things: Community and Skill. We solve both. We are a community of growth-minded hikers and campers building the fitness and resilience necessary to break down the barrier between the front-country and the backcountry.
We believe that happiness and health are found just outside your comfort zone. We are here to help you pack your bag, tie your boots, and walk there with confidence.
Meet The Team
Gigi and Lee are teammates in life and in business.
We combine professional fitness training, instructional design, and wilderness risk management to give you a complete safety net. We don't just guide you; we teach you how to guide yourself.
Gigi Corkett
- Movement Specialist & Coach
- Community Builder
- Certified Nutrition Coach (NASM)
I bridge the gap between "I used to be fit" and "I can do this." With over twenty years of experience, I’ve moved from rehabilitating stroke and spinal cord patients to empowering middle-aged professionals. My focus is simple: building the strength, endurance, and mobility you need to enjoy the backcountry without fear of injury.
Lee Corkett

- Wilderness First Responder (WFR)

I am a Sociocultural Anthropologist and Instructional Designer who believes the best classroom has no walls. I specialize in translating complex systems into clear, actionable skills. Whether capturing the moment as a photographer or managing risk as a WFR, my job is to handle the logistics, safety, and education so you can focus on the experience.
