Thunder Hill Showdown 5K – A Run for Hope & Healing

The Thunder Hill Showdown is more than just a run—it’s a chance for our community to come together in honor, remembrance, and action. This 5K course begins at the Lapwai Football Field, climbs to the top of Thunder Hill, and loops back—a powerful journey that symbolizes resilience and strength.

This event was created by Riston Bullock to raise awareness for suicide prevention, honor his sister Raquel, and provide support for families affected by loss. Funds raised will contribute to Raquel’s memorial and headstone, with 50% of proceeds donated to a suicide prevention foundation.

📅 Date: July 13, 2025 – Lapwai Days

📍 Location: Lapwai Football Field → Thunder Hill → Back

💰 Entry Fee: $35 (Donations are welcome!)

Honoring Loved Ones

To make this event even more meaningful, we will have:

🎤 Guest Speakers sharing stories of hope, loss, and mental health awareness.

📷 Memory Tables where participants can bring photos of loved ones lost to suicide—creating a space for reflection, remembrance, and healing.

This is our first annual event, with hopes of growing into a tradition that fosters support, connection, and change. Whether you run, walk, or simply gather with us, every step counts.

Join Riston Bullock in breaking the silence, honoring lives, and standing together for mental health awareness. 💙🎗🏃‍♂️
