The Trailblaze Challenge is a 26.3-mile hike where participants can tackle the terrain of the Silver Falls State Park - 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 Oregon & SW Washington 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 Oregon grant even more wishes this year.
