CT Challenge Information

The CT Challenge Bike Ride is an annual event and extravaganza centered on a one-day series of bike rides for corporations, teams, and individuals to raise money to support CT Challenge and Mission; organizations dedicated to providing post cancer fitness and wellness support for survivors. The CT Challenge Bike Ride is a ride (not a race) featuring 10-, 25-, 50- and 100-mile courses along the beautiful Connecticut shoreline and picturesque countryside. People can also now join us from afar as a Virtual Rider. The CT Challenge Bike Ride is a weekend full of activities and provides a festival-like atmosphere of food, music, camaraderie, and community. Ride day begins with a pre-ride breakfast and a survivor’s “Lap of Honor” ceremony to launch riders on their way. Rest stops with food, water, volunteers, and plenty of encouragement dot each course, and riders return to a joyous celebration of love, support, and fun. Held every year at the end of July, the 2024 ride date is Saturday, July 27th. Activities begin on Friday, July 26th. The CT Challenge Bike Ride garners support from corporations, teams, families, and individuals – as riders and as volunteers. Corporations support the ride as a great way to be prominent in their community, engage with employees, and recognize the personal struggle some have experienced due to cancer. As an outdoor event, the CT Challenge Bike ride is an opportunity for corporations to support and sponsor an inclusive shared experience for employees, teams, and clients. Many participants, whether rider, volunteer, or sponsor of CT Challenge have been personally touched by cancer. But common for everyone is a recognition of the impact this disease has had on our community and common belief in caring about each other. Learn more about the CT Challenge Bike Ride today.
