Are you concerned about how little time kids are spending outdoors these days? Do you love to hike, trail run or spend time in the mountains with friends or family? Then join us for the 7th annual Hike for Youth Fall Hiking Festival and Fundraiser. Hike for Youth is a hiking and trail running event that supports youth agencies that connect youth to the outdoors. You and your family, friends or group can choose from easy, moderate or strenuous hikes, a 10K trail run and outdoor skills clinics, and an after party with music, fun, and food. All proceeds from the event support local programs connecting youth to the outdoors.

This active, outdoor fundraising event benefits three local programs that connect kids to the outdoors.

The majority of Hike for Youth expenses are covered by generous sponsors. After that, learn more about how your fees and pledges are spent. Please help us get youth connected to the outdoors.
