Sedona Xtreme Hike
The Sedona Xtreme Hike takes you through Arizona's breathtaking red rock country, where stunning desert landscapes and famous energy vortexes create an unforgettable backdrop. Hosted by the Arizona Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, this extraordinary endurance event raises awareness and critical funds to help those with CF live longer, fuller lives - and to one day find a cure.
The Xtreme Hike is both a physical and philanthropic challenge, requiring grit, determination, and a commitment to making a difference. Each participant pledges to raise a minimum of $750, with hikers reaching $3,000 ($6,000 per couple) enjoying the full weekend experience, including:
• Two nights of hotel accommodations (Friday & Saturday)
• Friday night group dinner
• Transportation to and from trailheads
• Sunday morning Victory Breakfast

Day Hike Experience - Saturday, March 20
Hikers gather at 6:00 a.m. at the designated trailhead to pick up their Xtreme Hike gear, share their CF "Why," and take group photos before setting off. Fully stocked rest stops along the 17-mile Sonoran Desert trail will keep you fueled with breakfast, snacks, and lunch. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with fellow hikers, guides, and volunteers.
