Cashiers, NC
The Trailblaze Challenge is a 28.3-mile hike where participants can tackle the terrain of the Foothills Trail - all in one amazing day! This is a hike, not a race, and caters to all levels from novice to advanced outdoor enthusiasts.
As well as being an extraordinary physical test, the real challenge is to raise much-needed funds to grant the wishes of children in Central and Western North Carolina with critical illnesses. Now more than ever, hope is essential. Make-A-Wish is committed to ensuring that no eligible child waits to experience the hope and joy that a wish brings.
By supporting the Trailblaze Challenge, you will help Make-A-Wish America grant even more wishes this year nationally.
How Do I Get Started?
To begin this life-changing journey, you'll need to attend an information meeting. These meetings are designed to inform you about the mission of Make-A-Wish and describe in detail the weekend-long hike event.
Info sessions fill up quickly - RSVP today to reserve your spot!
