SCARBOROUGH — Make-A-Wish Maine will host its first-ever Trailblaze Challenge in Northern New England, on Sept. 28.
Designed as an endurance hiking event, the Make-A-Wish Trailblaze Challenge gives participants the opportunity to tackle 23.4 miles of the Maine Hut Trail in Franklin County, all in one day, while raising money to grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses. This is a journey, not a race, and caters to all levels, from hiking novice to advanced outdoor enthusiasts.
“We are thrilled to bring Trailblaze Challenge to Maine,” said Samantha Elliot, events manager. “More than just a fundraiser, the endurance experience uniquely evokes the journey our wish kids go through, creating a tremendous emotional impact by the end of the weekend.”
Participants are taken through 14 weeks of supported training before converging upon Sugarloaf for a weekend of concentrated activity and celebration. To particpate, it’s required to register for an information session. Visit site.wish.org/trailblazeme.
