Shalva Sporting Challenges

Climb for HOPE is the ultimate challenge, taken on by groups of dedicated individuals who set out to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, for Shalva’s children.

Along the way, you’ll pass through four distinct ecosystems, reach the summit at 5,895 meters, and experience a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

A few spots remain for the 2027 climb. Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Join this premier running event. Runners receive guaranteed entry into the NY Marathon, round-trip airfare and accommodation, professional training program, and fundraising support, as well as Team Shalva swag, all while making every step count by fundraising on behalf of Shalva’s children.
