The Trailblaze Challenge is an 18-mile hike where participants tackle the terrain of the Skyland Loop 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 with critical illnesses in the Greater Virginia area. 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 a wish brings.

By supporting the Trailblaze Challenge, you will help Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia grant even more wishes this year for children in our local Virginia communities.
