2026 Hero Hill Climb - Charity walk to support our Veterans

The 2026 Hero Hill Climb is a charity 5k/10k walking event with a patriotic theme that honors our fallen soldiers.  It is a public event. Anyone at any age or fitness level can participate.  Visit www.herohillclimb.com

Your Mission:

Starting from US Army Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, you will be given a card with the name and bio of a fallen soldier (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 each participant will 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, live music, and a "sponsor village". The proceeds go to Mission22 and the US Mountain Ranger Association.
