On the last Saturday in September, participants will bike, run, or hike up the mountain at Tamarack Resort.

Join us for this mental health awareness and suicide prevention event where you can prove you’re “mentally strong”, all for a good cause! This is an event unlike any other! Participants hike, run, or bike up the mountain to the distance of their choosing (up to a max distance of 15 miles, 2,900 ft elevation gain). The real competition is against one’s own self, where you make a goal and set out to achieve it!

Each mile post along your journey will be marked with a special token, reminding you that you have achieved a great distance, and you are “mentally strong.” Collect as many tokens as you can and then head back down the mountain to celebrate your achievement.

Full details and registration can be found at www.topoftamarack.com.

Join us and be “mentally strong”!
