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

Join us for a two-day tour, July 15-16, 2023, in Copper Mountain with fully supported routes each day for all rider levels and abilities, and endless celebrations. Be a part of the Courage Classic excitement and community this summer 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!

Fundraising minimum

Fundraising minimums must be met by rider check-in to ride in the tour.

The final fundraising deadline to meet your personal fundraising goal is Aug. 31. All donations must be received by Aug. 31 in order to count toward this year’s fundraising goal. Any donations received or postmarked after Aug. 31 will be applied to next year’s event. Please include rider name and number on all check donations. Processing takes a few days.

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.
