hello world on Give Hope This Giving Tuesday
MyBlog on Top of Tamarack registration is NOW OPEN!

We are on Instagram

June 27 is PTSD Awareness Day.

PTSD affects millions of people each year, including veterans, first responders, survivors of abuse, accidents, natural disasters, and other traumatic experiences.

According to the National Center for PTSD, approximately 6% of U.S. adults will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. For veterans, the rates can be significantly higher depending on their service experiences.

PTSD can impact sleep, relationships, physical health, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life. It can also increase the risk of depression, substance use, and suicidal thoughts.

The good news? PTSD is treatable.

Evidence-based therapies, peer support, movement, community connection, and early intervention can all play an important role in recovery.

At Top of Tamarack, we believe movement, connection, and purpose can help create spaces where healing begins and conversations become safer to have.

In honor of PTSD Awareness Day, we`re offering $10 off registration with code:

STRONGTOT10

Because no one should have to face their struggles alone.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988. Veterans can press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.

Another Friday, another reminder of why we keep showing up.

It isn`t just about the miles.
It`s about catching up with old friends.
Meeting someone new.
Laughing a little harder.
Breathing a little deeper.

Trail Fridays has become so much more than a weekly hike, and that`s because of every person who continues to be part of this community.

Here`s to another great Friday on the trails.

Over the years, we`ve been incredibly fortunate to partner with amazing companies that have helped us fill our Sock Project boxes with thoughtful, high-quality items.

We`d love to hear from you!

Have you ever tried any of the products we`ve included—like Bombas socks, Poppy & Pout lip balm, or Mountain Madness Soap Co. soaps?

Still thinking about it?

We see you. 👀

Every year there are people who say:

"I`ll register next week."

"I need to check my schedule."

"I`ll do it later."

And every year, some of those people end up wishing they had signed up sooner.

If Top of Tamarack has been on your mind, consider this your friendly reminder.

Registration is open now, and current pricing won`t last forever and we have been known to sell out.

If you`ve ever wondered why Top of Tamarack exists, this story is the answer.

Last night, KTVB re aired their segment that recognized our founder, Kylee Wiscombe, as a 7`s Hero for her unwavering commitment to mental health and suicide prevention in Idaho.

Top of Tamarack was never created to be just another race.

It was created to bring people together.
To start conversations.
To honor those we`ve lost.
To remind people they are never alone.
To prove that healing can happen one step, one pedal stroke, one climb at a time.

We`re incredibly proud of everyone who has supported this mission over the years. Every participant, volunteer, sponsor, donor, and community member has helped make this movement what it is today.

Take a few minutes to watch Kylee`s story, then let us know what resonates with you most.

Together, we continue to move the conversation forward.

Father’s Day can hold a lot of different emotions.

For some, it’s a day full of celebration, laughter, and gratitude for the fathers and father figures still walking beside us.
For others, it can feel heavy — carrying grief, absence, complicated relationships, or memories of someone deeply missed.

Today, we honor the dads who are here.
The dads we’ve lost.
The father figures who stepped up.
And the people navigating this day with quiet strength.

If today feels joyful, we celebrate with you.
If today feels painful, you are not alone in that either.

However this day meets you — we’re glad you’re here. 🤍

Men Mental Health Month is recognized in June!
This is your reminder to check in on the men in your life. 💚

The ones who always seem "fine."
The ones who carry a lot but don`t talk about it.
The ones who show up for everyone else.

Sometimes the strongest thing someone can hear is:
"How are you really doing?"

A conversation can make a bigger difference than you know.

Movement can’t cure trauma.

But it can help reconnect people back to themselves.

Research continues to show that movement, time outdoors, and community support can positively impact mental health, anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms.

That’s one of the reasons spaces like trails, races, hiking groups, and community events matter so much.

Healing doesn’t always happen sitting still.

Sometimes it happens:
🥾 one mile at a time
🌲 one conversation at a time
🤍 one safe connection at a time

You deserve support in every form it comes.
