2019 Memorial Challenge

Pending due to limited funding.

We need your help! If you would like to assist with this event by becoming a local sponsor, donor, or offering a grant, please let us know by sending an email to info@weareprojecthero.org. 


2019 FUNDRAISING AND REGISTRATION STRUCTURE:  

Please note that there is a fundraising commitment for all participant types and a small registration fee. 

While we wish we could continue to offer free participation to our wounded veterans and first responders, there is now a fundraising commitment to participate in multi-day events such as Challenge Rides, Initiatives and Mountain Bike Rides.

ABOUT THE RIDE

Commitment Deadline for the 2019 Memorial Challenge:  

The final day for fundraising to qualify for registration for the Memorial Challenge will be announced soon. Riders who have not raised enough funds to qualify for registration in the 2019 Memorial Challenge on that date are eligible for donation to Project Hero or transferability to another 2019 Challenge event.

This ride is rated Category "C" (somewhat difficult)
 
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER ONLINE! 
There is a $25 (non-refundable and non-transferable) registration fee for all rider types for all 2019 Project Hero Challenge Rides. Your registration fee will automatically be counted toward your fundraising commitment.
 
SINGLE DAY RIDE
If you are unable to join us for the entire ride you may participate in any one day of the Challenge. SINGLE DAY RIDER REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY CHALLENGE REGISTRATION DAY. ABSOLUTELY NO "DAY OF EVENT" REGISTRATION.

Single day riders must pay the non-refundable/non-transferable $25 registration fee and raise a single-day minimum fundraising amount of $150 per day. Specific day(s) are selected during the registration process.

Due to demand and logistics, single-day riders are limited to a maximum of TWO days per event (whether consecutive or nonconsecutive days), setting a fundraising commitment of $300. All riders participating in more than two days will be required to raise the full fundraising minimum for their corresponding participation type.

 
VOLUNTEERS
All volunteers must register online. We will be in touch to confirm your role. Please note that signing up to volunteer does not guarantee you a spot as a volunteer. Volunteers are chosen based on specific needs for a ride. Please contact a staff member with any questions at info@weareprojecthero.org.

PARTICIPATION CRITERIA:

If you register for an event and reach your required fundraising commitment, you automatically qualify to participate. Just make sure you reach your fundraising minimum before the commitment deadline for that event! You can find that information on each event's home page. Although we will no longer be making selections to determine who will be participating in Challenge Rides, it’s important that you stay connected with your local HUBs to support your training efforts.

 

IF on the COMMITMENT DEADLINE (Date TBD):

You meet and/or exceed the goal:

Way to go! You’re all set to participate. Any extra funds raised help cover the cost of getting staff and volunteers to the event. Funds can also help another rider registered for the SAME event reach their fundraising requirement.

 

You meet the goal but cannot attend:

If canceling BEFORE the fundraising deadline, funds can be: transferred to another multi-day event within 12-months, transferred to another rider for the SAME event, or donated to Project Hero. For cancellations AFTER the fundraising deadline (or no shows), funds raised will be considered a donation and will not be transferable.

 

You have not met the goal:

There are several options to ensure every

participant has the opportunity to ride:

 

1. Pay (or raise) the difference within 3 business days.

2. Transfer funds to another event within a 12-month period.

3. Transfer funds to a rider registered for the SAME event.

4. Donate funds to Project Hero.

 

If options 1-3 are not completed by the deadline, funds will automatically be considered a donation (option 4) and will not be transferable.

*Note: Credit cards will NEVER be automatically charged.
