2024 Hike for Kids - Saturday, October 19th

Sign up now for our 2024 Hike for Kids event where each step on the trail helps Blue Sky Fund make the outdoors more accessible for Richmond area youth.

Hike for Kids is Blue Sky’s signature event and brings together hikers to either hit the trails of one of Richmond’s most popular attractions, the James River Park System, or any trail of their choice across the country. Together, participants raise funds and awareness of our outdoor education programs. Richmond hikers will enjoy some of the best city trails in the country with either a 3, 7 or 14 mile loop. All are welcomed to celebrate the journey at our post-hike party with food, beer, games and live music.

Our 2024 Hike for Kids virtual auction is LIVE! Check it out here.
