San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is hosting an informational meeting May 3 to provide details for the summer 2026 Kilimanjaro Challenge, an eight-day climb of Africa’s tallest peak. The session is set for 1 p.m. May 3 at the Coastal Ranger Station on Via de la Valle at San Andres Drive, San Diego.
“Climb for the Conservancy: Mt. Kilimanjaro Challenge” combines the epic adventure of conquering the iconic, 19,341-foot mountain in Tanzania with a challenge for participants to raise funds for conservation within the San Dieguito River watershed.
“Whether you’re a seasoned climber or a beginner looking for a new challenge, this meeting is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the adventure ahead,” said Cheryl Goddard, the Conservancy’s executive director, in a news release. “We’ll cover everything from training tips to gear recommendations, so you can feel prepared and confident as you embark on this incredible journey.”
During the get-together, visitors also can hear about the fun from the Conservancy’s recent trip to Tanzania, where more than a dozen hikers completed the Kilimanjaro Challenge.
