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, jacket, bibs, gloves and premium gift bag, shower and massage, gourmet lunch, and a ticket to the Best Buddies Miami Gala. In addition to event-day benefits, registered riders are invited to exclusive VIP events held throughout the year in Miami.

In addition to the main events, riders will also be invited to join Chris Froome for dinner on Thursday, November 16, 2023.

RIDE

Join cycling legends Chris Froome, George Hincapie, and Christian Vande Velde on Friday, November 17, 2023 for a 75-mile ride! Starting and finishing at the W South Beach. Riders will be escorted and followed in a closed peloton by police vehicles at a minimum 18 mph pace. If equipment fails the ride does not stop. Our SAG support, provided by Mack Cycle and Fitness, will either provide an alternative top of the line bike and/or make the necessary repair to allow members to rejoin the peloton.

Featuring two fully stocked rest stops, waterfront views, and a ride through some of the most historic and scenic locations in Miami, South Beach and Key Biscayne. The Challenge is open to all ages and abilities and includes professional athletes, high-profile personalities as well as the active participation of athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Once riders return to the finish line, they will be greeted with refreshments, hot showers, professional massages, and lunch. Later in the evening, riders will attend the Best Buddies Miami Gala.
