28 MILES. ONE DAY. HIKE FOR WISHES. HELP GRANT WISHES FOR KIDS IN SAN DIEGO.

The Trailblaze Challenge is more than a hike. It’s more than just a fundraiser. The Trailblaze Challenge, presented by Wheelhouse Credit Union, is a life-changing endurance program that allows Make-A-Wish San Diego to grant wishes for local children with critical illnesses. Whether you're a novice hiker or an experienced outdoor enthusiast, you'll have the chance to explore new trails, build confidence, and form lasting friendships, all while training for the 28-mile trek and raising funds to make a difference in our community!

2026 Big Bear Hike Dates:

Weekend #1-- May 1-3
Weekend #2-- May 15-17
