The Vermont Adaptive Charity Challenge is an annual event to enjoy the beauty of Vermont through cycling, mountain biking, paddling, and hiking, all while raising funds for the state’s largest nonprofit organization committed to providing sports and recreation to people with disabilities.

Multiple road bike ride routes loop through the towns of Killington, Pittsfield, Bethel, Barnard, Woodstock, Ludlow, Bridgewater, and Plymouth, Vermont. Or you can choose to mountain bike, hike, paddle, or do a gravel ride. The monies raised from this event support the adaptive programs and athletes of Vermont Adaptive year-round. It is also used toward scholarships – Vermont Adaptive never turns anyone away based on their ability to pay. We hope you can join us for a fantastic day of friendship in support of adaptive sports!

Apres-Festival – With loads of room to spread out at the Skyeship Base Area at Killington, we’ll have live music once again, yummy food trucks with lots of options, the silent auction, and much more.

Registration fee includes entrance to the festival, food, a beer ticket, live entertainment, and good times!
