Mamele Mountains OG Club
Since day one, a select group of women have shown up year after year to take on the mountain. These trailblazers are the heart of Mamele Mountains, and we call them our Founders Club.
If you’ve raced every single year since our very first event, you’ll be honored at next year’s race with a special 5-Year Founders Club gift—a symbol of your grit, loyalty, and commitment to climbing higher.
And because consistency deserves to be celebrated, we’ll also have a special gift for all women who have raced with us three times or more, even if you’re not part of the original Founders Club.
VIP Ticket
Over the years, Mamele Mountains has been blessed with an incredible lineup of women (and men) who’ve shared their stories and inspired us to climb higher: Chari Hawkins, 2024 Olympian; James “The Iron Cowboy” Lawrence, world record endurance athlete; and Diljeet Taylor, BYU Women’s Cross Country coach—just to name a few. Each has left a mark on our community, reminding us of the strength we carry within.
This year, we are beyond excited to welcome Karalynne Call, owner of Just Ingredients. We’ve been hoping to bring her to Mamele Mountains for the past two years, and it’s finally happening! Her passion for health, balance, and living well is something we know will resonate deeply with every woman on the mountain.

Don’t worry, each race ticket comes with a 12 week training plan that will be emailed to you the beginning of June to make sure you are fully prepared and ready to tackle this race!
We will have a beginning and advanced plan so that you can choose which option best suits you.
Believe that you can run farther, or faster. Believe that you’re young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don’t let worn out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.
