Hike for Hospice House

Since 2013, Hospice House of Williamsburg has raised over $700,000 through its annual Hike for Hospice House. Hospice House of Williamsburg offers care, comfort, and compassion through and beyond end of life as well as bereavement support to all free of charge. Funding raised through events like Hike for Hospice House ensures that all service to guests and their loved ones can remain cost-free and that Hospice House can remain a vital and accessible resource to serve the Williamsburg community and beyond.

At this year's Hike for Hospice House, we celebrate life by walking one mile through Colonial Williamsburg followed by a memorial program, activities for the whole family, and special ways to remember the lives of our loved ones, all raising funds in support of this important community resource. We hope you'll join us as we join together as a community to remember the lives that touched ours. 

Each ticket includes a t-shirt (with preferred size guaranteed only to sign-ups prior to April 20. On the day of the race, we will have extras of all sizes available on a first come, first served basis). Assorted snacks and water bottles will also be provided. Children 12 and under are FREE, and there is a reduced price for middle, high school, and college students age 13-23.
