The Hero Hill Climb is on Saturday May 24th. It is an outdoor event similar to a charity ruck/walk/bike but with a patriotic theme. Our goal is to honor our fallen veterans, raise money for programs that assist veterans, combat PTSD and help mitigate veteran suicide.
 
It is a public event. Anyone at any age or fitness level can participate. The proceeds go to Mission22 and the US Mountain Ranger Association. 
 
The Mission:
Starting in front of US Army Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, 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 for more. 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, and live music. Comfy event t-shirts and challenge coins are available on-site and online. Please check out our website at   ( www.herohillclimb.com ) and our Facebook Page here.
