About the Event
It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that the 2024 Mind Over Land Veterans Day event is being postponed. Due to the significant impact of Hurricane Helene and the widespread devastation in Western North Carolina, including the closures of Pisgah and Cherokee National Forests, we have been in close communication with the National Forest Service. Their guidance, based on the current state of the region, has made it clear that it would not be safe or advisable to move forward with the event at this time. We have not determined a make-up date at this time but will communicate with the larger community when/if the time is right.
This year we are taking our Annual Veterans Day/Weekend event to the beautiful NC Mountains.
We will start with camp on Friday night and begin with a series of 4 trails that we will be run on Saturday morning; NC HWY 105, Brown Mountain OHV, Wilsons Creek and Charlies Creek. None of these will be challenging per se, but you will have amazing views and scenery as you unwind during the weekend.
We will conclude Saturday night with our bonfire, fellowship, dinner with food trucks.
There is No charge for the event, you read that right, no charge for camping, no charge for the rides, just come on out and have a great time.
All Are Welcome, to include families and supporters of veterans.
