SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The National Ability Center’s Summit Challenge returns Saturday with a goal of raising $150,000 for adaptive recreation programs.
All proceeds benefit the National Ability Center, which works to enable people with disabilities to participate in recreational activities, according to the NAC website.
The Summit Challenge is a cycling competition. Participants can choose from a variety of route lengths, with options ranging from 4 to 100 miles. According to the event’s website, each ride goes through the mountains of northern Utah.
All ages and abilities were welcome, but the website said registration for the event was closed.
According to an email to KSL NewsRadio, the event’s longest race begins at 7 a.m. Shorter races begin later in the day, with the entire event ending around 2:30 p.m.
Can we watch the Summit Challenge participants?
There will also be an event village at the Summit Challenge. It will be open to spectators from 11am to 4pm.
Lunch will be provided to the drivers. Additional food and drink vouchers can be purchased for spectators (see the event FAQ page).
There will also be an event that is open to everyone. The 1-mile Discovery Loop begins at 1 p.m. It starts at the National Ability Center. Participants can complete the route by bike or on foot.
Although registration for the event is closed, there are still other ways to help the National Ability Center. Visit the organization’s website to find volunteer opportunities.
