Heart of Gold Gravel Race for Teen Mental Wellness Surpasses 2021 Fundraising Efforts

The second annual Heart of Gold Gravel Race had 250 participants who raced one of two courses. The first course was 74 miles with a climb of 11,000 feet and the second course was 46 miles with 7,000 feet gain in elevation. Heart of Gold gravel race is a fundraising event benefitting local organizations that advocate for youth mental wellness in the county. Approximately $100,000 was raised for youth mental wellness in Nevada County, surpassing last year’s fundraising.

Supervisor Bullock proposed the idea behind the race in 2021. This event is great for the local community, bringing cyclists from around the country to support our teens and the local community. District V Supervisor Hardy Bullock and several County staff members were among the 250 participants.
