CHALLENGE UP! Hike the Summits of Hanging Rock With Me For a GREAT Cause!

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Xtreme Hike program takes hikers through some of the most scenic trails in the nation to raise funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis.  Xtreme Hike is about reaching new heights physically and philanthropically.  It is a journey of passion, determination, and personal triumph, as much as it is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people with cystic fibrosis.
The Carolinas Raleigh Chapter’s 2016 Xtreme Hike will take place again at Hanging Rock State Park – noted as one of USA Today’s “Top 20 State Parks” you’ll explore hidden waterfalls, experience 360 degree views, tackle rugged terrain and rolling trails, all in one amazing journey with us!  In addition to a 3-month training plan, a lifetime of memories and new friends, your hike journey will challenge you to reach new limits all while raising funds and awareness for CF!
All hikers will enjoy accommodations for three days and two nights at the Singletree Lodge & Cabins.  With an amazing view of Moore’s Wall from their property, we will enjoy a post hike dinner by the fire pit and uninterrupted views of the stars. Your hike weekend includes an energizing, pre-hike pasta dinner at a local watering hole the Green Heron Ale House, pre-hike breakfast, post party dinner and a “Victory” breakfast on Sunday. 
As participants prepare for the physical challenge, hikers are encouraged to raise $2,500 through their personal and social media campaigns.  Register early as the Xtreme Hike is limited to 35 for our event.
