Courage Classic Routes

What to expect

Note that the below routes were for 2025. 2026 routes will be updated closer to tour date.

You’ll see start times listed on the routes below. Courage Classic routes do not have an official send off from the start line. Starting by the times listed below will ensure on-route services are available during your ride.

You’ll see streamers, helmet bling, tandem bikes and buggies in tow. Our amazing volunteers are on the routes to point you in the right direction and give you that extra encouragement you need to conquer mountains. Aid Stations stocked with breakfast and lunch items, beverages, snacks, restrooms, medical and mechanical aid are available every 6-25 miles. Running out of steam? Sag Wagons (large vans with bike racks) are on route each day to give you a lift up the hill, to the next aid station, or to the finish line if you need it.

The sound of cowbells and cheers will usher you to the Finish Line. Children’s Colorado families and supporters line the Finish, holding pompoms and hand-made signs expressing encouragement and their appreciation!

Route options
