Why We Run
This event is a fundraiser supporting the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew Learning and Tribute Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Prescott, Arizona.

The Center honors the lives and legacy of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Yarnell Hill Fire on June 30, 2013, preserves artifacts from the original Station 7 memorial fence, and educates the public about wildland fire, firefighting, and prevention.

The Center is proudly operated by an all-volunteer organization.
