Crank Around the Clock

Join us for the ultimate cycling experience - The 12-Hour Cycling Challenge - where the spirit of cycling, community, and competition merge into an unforgettable day of adventure! This event benefits Adaptive Adventures, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that transforms lives, fosters community and normalizes adaptation in outdoor recreation. 

Are you ready to push your limits and discover how far you can go in 12 hours? Whether you're setting out to conquer a single 13.2-mile loop or aiming for a century, this challenge is about your personal journey on wheels. No distance is too modest, no ambition too great!

Prefer to share the ride? Team up with friends or make new ones! Register as a duo or a team of four. Get creative, coordinate your team name, and gear up for an epic ride!

Dive into a day that blends the thrill of the ride with a festive atmosphere. Embrace the exhilarating start at sunrise, fuel up with offerings from food trucks including a coffee truck, Chibby Wibbitz and an ice cream truck, and vibe to the DJ's beats. As the day unfolds, indulge in the camaraderie of fellow cyclists, and when the challenge concludes, join us for a vibrant award ceremony and community celebration. Go all out and dress up to match your team theme for a chance to snag fantastic prizes!

This event isn't just a ride; it's a showcase of cycling diversity and inclusivity. Compete in various divisions: fastest lap, longest distance, adaptive category (Hand and Foot Pedaled Trikes), top fundraiser, best costume, industry cup and each offering a unique way to experience the challenge.

Event basecamp is at the scenic Swim Beach Parking Lot in Chatfield State Park. Set up your personal rest zone to unwind and recharge throughout the event. Bring your comforts—shade, lounge chairs, coolers, and more. Riding an adaptive cycle? Our team is on standby from 5:00 am for fittings and adjustments. Mechanics and bike fitting assistance is available!

Ready to be rewarded? Compete for prizes including the Longest Distance, Fastest Lap, Top Fundraiser, and more, with rewards like a $500 Scheels Giftcard, YETI Cooler, Patagonia Gear and an array of exciting prizes.

Don't miss this unique cycling experience. Embrace the challenge, enjoy the community, and celebrate the ride at The 12-Hour Cycling Challenge!
