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, and admission to the Best Buddies Miami Gala hosted by Anthony Shriver and celebrity guests featuring a gourmet dinner, open bar and private concert. In addition to event-day benefits, registered riders are invited to exclusive VIP events held throughout the year in Miami.

RIDE

Join us on Friday, November 18, 2016! Starting and finishing at Marlins Park, cyclists will receive VIP access to the Marlin’s locker rooms to change into their provided Best Buddies Challenge cycling kit (jersey, shorts and jacket) then join the group on the field to kick off a five-star ride experience.

Riders will be escorted and followed in a closed peloton by police vehicles at a minimum 18 mph pace with Mavic Style SAG neutral support. If equipment fails the ride does not stop. Our SAG team 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, 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 at Marlins Park, they will be greeted with refreshments, hot showers, professional massages, and snacks in the President’s Box. A free full service hair and makeup salon will also be available.

The Gala features an entertaining program with silent and live auctions, cocktails, a gourmet dinner and a private concert. Past performers include Cyndi Lauper, Earth Wind & Fire, and LMFAO. Guests can spend the evening unwinding at one of Miami’s premium events and toasting to the success of the Miami Challenge!
