Returning for 2025!
After a few years off, the Cactus Crusher virtual race is back!
For 2025, all proceeds of the Cactus Crusher race will benefit Rising Mountain's Coaching Coach Nicole. Coach Nicole spent part of 2024 and 2025 battling breast cancer. While she's thankfully cancer-free now, she will need continued follow-up treatments and will be dealing with medical billing for years to come.
Coach Nicole has been an integral part of RMC since 2022. We are honored to be able to give back a small amount of support that she gives to so many of her athletes and community members.
