Hike for Hospice

Hospice Services of Lake County is presenting the fourth annual Hike for Hospice, a fundraising and friend raising event taking place on June 9 at Highlands Springs Park near Lakeport.  It’s time to lace up those shoes and enjoy a leisurely walk in a beautiful country setting or for the more serious hiker, a rigorous trek is included.
Participating is easy and fun for the whole family or a group of friends while supporting a great cause. Individuals who want to participate may pre-register online at www.lakecountyhospice.org , pick up a registration form at any Hospice thrift store located in Middletown, Clearlake or Lakeport or contact Hospice to have a registration form mailed to you.  Individual Hikers are encouraged donate to Hospice as part of their hiking experience and many participants also ask for sponsorship from friends and family.  Hikers with a minimum donation of $25.00 will receive an event T-shirt. 
On the day of the hike registration and check is from 8 am – 9 am located at the picnic area near the reservoir.  Hikers taking the 5 mile route will start at 8:15, 3 milers start at 8:30, and the 1 & 2 mile hike hit the trail at 9:00 am. In the tradition of past Hike for Hospice events, hikers are encouraged to form or join teams.  Creative apparel is highly encouraged. Of course, solo hikers are welcome!
