ABOUT THE RIDE:

Commitment Deadline for the 2024 Texas Challenge:  

The final day for fundraising to qualify for registration for the Texas Challenge will be Wednesday, March 27. Riders who have not raised enough funds to qualify for registration in the 2024 Texas Challenge on that date are eligible for donation to Project Hero or transferability to another 2024 Challenge event.

 

Everything is BIG in Texas, so this event should not disappoint, from start to finish.  

This ride is rated Category "C" (somewhat difficult)

 

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER ONLINE! 

There is a $75 (non-refundable and non-transferable) registration fee for all rider types for all 2024 Project Hero Challenge Rides.

 

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 6:00 PM on May 4, 2024. ABSOLUTELY NO "DAY OF EVENT" REGISTRATION.

Single day riders must pay the non-refundable/non-transferable $75 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 fundraising minimum for the full week for their corresponding participation type.

 

VOLUNTEERS

If you are interested in volunteering for a Challenge. Please send an email to info@weareprojecthero.org with your name, the Challenge you are interested in supporting, and the role(s) you feel you would be able to assist with. Please include any information on why you feel you are qualified for the role, and if referred, include that person's name. We receive many requests for volunteers but are only allowed to approve a limited amount of focused groups to help assist in a successful event. A team member will reach out to you if a position is open for the event to discuss the possibility of volunteering. We appreciate your interest in supporting Project Hero.

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.
