Practice hikes or not - if you exclude someone from a church sponsored trip it will come back on you. You must include everyone who wants to participate AND do everything in your control to make it enjoyable. Telling a church member they cannot go because they are too out of shape is a quick way to become un-church-sponsored. The church is there to help folks with spiritual growth and you need to keep that in mind. The end goal is not "we hiked 50 miles" but "I learned X about God/myself/etc".
