SATURDAY 10TH APRIL
Mental Hillness is an endurance mountain bike ride and fell run, where cyclists and runners are challenged to
complete a particularly challenging and hilly off-road circuit as many times as possible in 12 hours for charity.
Many non-runners and non-cyclists have often questioned the motives and ‘soundness of mind’ of people competing in similar
endurance challenges. They ask questions such as ‘Are you crazy?’ or ‘Why would you abuse your body like that?’.
This is an opportunity to raise awareness, and money, to support charities that help people who experience suffering caused
by real abuse and mental health illnesses.
All proceeds to
Mental Health Foundation,
Independent Choices and
Grapevine Project.
The Riders course is 10km long and has been chosen to avoid major roads. It involves over 400 metres of accent and descent!
Runners have a slightly shorter route, but it still involves over 400 metres of accent and descent!
Entries cannot be confirmed until the entry form and donation cheque have been processed. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Mental Hillness’.
(Remember you can give more than the £10 minimum if you want!)

Please note that places are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis with limited places – so be quick to ensure your entry.
Registration from 6.30am – Mass start at 8.00am – Finish at 8.00pm (laps that are not completed by 8pm will not be counted).
