Organiser's description

In this national fundraiser, we have two exciting ways to participate. You can "choose your mountain" to climb when registering for the challenge: Mountains for Minds (Virtual). This could be climbing a literal mountain, hill, or local high point, setting an elevation gain goal, or a distance goal. Choose the event type that suits you best. We encourage participants to post pictures of themselves "at their peak" to celebrate the accomplishment and to raise awareness for brain health.



If you'd prefer to join an in-person event, we have a team participating in the 2024 Yonkers Marathon on September 15, 2024. Join Team Sharp Again at:
