Why ride?

You have the opportunity to conquer mountains, help transform children’s health and be a part of raising millions. All for Children’s Hospital Colorado patients. All experience levels are welcome. You can help create a better world for children, dollar by dollar, pedal by pedal, one mountain pass at a time.

Something for everyone

Our two-day tour in Copper Mountain has fully supported routes each day for all rider levels and abilities, and endless celebrations. Be a part of the Courage Classic excitement and community while making a difference for the kids and families who depend on Children’s Colorado for care.

Raise money for kids anywhere, anytime as a virtual participant

Can’t attend the in-person event? Not a cyclist but want to join the Courage Classic community? Participate as an individual, join a team or captain a team virtually to help us go the distance (from anywhere) for child health! There is no registration fee or fundraising minimum for virtual participants. You can access to the same tools and resources as riders and are eligible to receive the same recognition and awards. Virtual participants who raise $500 or more by June 24 will receive a Courage Classic T-shirt by mail!

Your support is changing the future of child health

Children’s Hospital Colorado sees more, treats more and heals more children than any hospital in our seven-state region. As a nonprofit, our world-class patient care, research, and advocacy are fueled by generous donors.

Courage Classic riders join a community who challenge themselves physically, mentally, and by fundraising to support our mission: To eradicate childhood disease and create healthier and safer communities so that, one day, children will no longer need us.

Earn fundraising recognition badges along the way based on number of years ridden, and cumulative and current year fundraising.
