The Hero Hill Climb

This is a great event to honor our fallen veterans and bring awareness to the good men & women serving in our military.

Walk, run or mountain bike...all ages...
Starting in front of Camp Merrill Army Ranger Base, you will be given a half-sheet card with the name of a fallen service member (Hero). Your mission is to carry your Hero up the gravel road to the top of the hill to honor their sacrifice. When you get to the top, there will be a large Hero board, an American flag, and a cast iron freedom bell. You will pin your Hero Card onto the Hero Board, ring the bell in their honor, and return back down the gravel road. The scenery is amazing, and you get to walk with the 5th Ranger Army Training Battalion! Each participant will also receive a special event Challenge Coin that you can pay forward or keep.

Afterwards, join the after-party at "The Overhang", Camp Merrill's on-base bar & grille for great food & beverages, raffle giveaways, and live music. Comfy event t-shirts and challenge coins are available on-site and online. 

If you want to paticipate and are unsure of your physical fitness to walk up the mountain, we have "special options" for you (Spec Ops). We'll have UTV/SxS vehicles to transport you up and down the mountain, so you can complete your mission safely.  We even have a "virtual category" for those who want to participate but cannot attend in-person.
