CHALLENGE YOURSELF
TO CHANGE LIVES.

There’s nothing like the Best Buddies Challenge. Find out for yourself. Sign up as an individual or form a team with friends and together we will help Best Buddies enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

All participants receive a limited edition event jersey, premium gift bag, shower and massage, and admission to the post event party featuring a gourmet barbecue, open bar and private concert. Additional VIP benefits can be added as fundraising thresholds are reached.

RIDE

Join us on Saturday, September 10, 2022, and choose to ride 100-, 62-, or 30-miles along the Pacific Coast Highway to San Simeon. Along the way, you’ll enjoy incredible views of Big Sur, Lucia, Gorda, and Ragged Point as you ride the beautiful rolling coastline of California’s central coast.

RUN OR WALK

For those who don’t ride, our 5K is a great way to participate. Enjoy a jog with friends, or go for a new personal best. The walk is the perfect challenge for families with small children.

CELEBRATE

All routes lead to our Finish Line in San Simeon. After you finish your event, recover and relax beachside with a massage, hot shower, gourmet food, and an open bar. Once you’re relaxed, cap the celebration off at our famous gourmet barbecue and private concert. After the main party, our top fundraisers are invited to a VIP reception.
