Hike For Hope 2023 Registration Open

DUBLIN, CA — Registration for Hike for Hope, the annual fundraiser for Hope Hospice, is now open. The hike is scheduled to take place Saturday, May 6 at Del Valle Regional Park in Livermore.

Registration is open through the event day, but anyone who registers before March 31 is guaranteed a free event T-shirt.

The hike, which has been held since 1980, raises money for the Dublin-based nonprofit, which provides hospice care for patients with terminal illnesses, support for caregivers, funding for patient care, dementia education, and grief support services. Each year, the walk helps Hope Hospice care for many 2,000 people across the East Bay.

In 2022, 1,300 walkers raised over $180,000, beating attendance and fundraising records. See here for 2022 photos.

The event will start at 8:30 a.m. Hikers have the options to complete a 2.6-mile lakefront loop, or a 4.4-mile moderate incline loop. The hike will be followed by a free barbecue lunch sponsored by MCE Corp., raffle prizes, the announcement of silent auction winners, and top fundraising awards.

Registration costs $35 for ages 18 and up, $15 for participants aged 13-17, and free for children 12 and under. An $80 family package includes registration for two adults and two youth.
