Deer Creek Challenge
Posted on 19. Jul, 2010 by Katie in Events, Featured Events, Team Transplant
This year, the Foundation’s charity cycling team, Team Transplant, has been invited to participate in a special inaugural event, the Deer Creek Challenge on Sunday, August 29th!
The Deer Creek Challenge has three courses that start in Littleton, Colorado and wind through beautiful Deer Creek Canyon; there’s the 33-mile course, the Metric Century, and—for the truly fit—the Century. With more than 12,700 feet elevation gain, this is the toughest century in the United States!
You’ll like what you get at the Deer Creek Challenge! Benefits for all courses include:
- $10 off the registration price for Team Transplant members; (NEW! Use coupon code DCCTEAM10 to get the discount.)
- Fully loaded aid stations complete with bike racks every 10 to 14 miles;
- Limited vehicle traffic for safer cycling;
- Post-ride barbecue with free beer;
- Commemorative t-shirt; and
- A place to relax in the Team Transplant tent after your ride!
We hope you will take up the challenge and help us raise awareness for organ and tissue donation at this event! All fundraising is optional, though those who do raise money can earn the team cycling gear. (Raise $250 and you get a free jersey!)
If we recruit 50 riders, the American Transplant Foundation will become an official beneficiary of the event! Please join Team Transplant and recruit your friends to help us reach this goal!
Get all the details and register!



I am really interested in this bicycling, but I am not able or in shape to do this at this particular time because I had my back rebuilt -6 hour surgery with 8 plates, rods, and 2 inch screws. I am a bicycle Patrol in Arizona, and a National Ski Patrol First Responder. I would like information on all your events. I am actually a swimmer in trainning now for the World TX Games in Sweden for June of 2011. Thank you very much. Dianne Allen Miller
Thank you for your comment, Dianne! To receive announcements for all of our events, I recommend joining our email list or subscribing to the blog’s RSS feed. I hope you recover from your back injury and will be able to join us for a cycling event in the future. Good luck training for the World Transplant Games!
Take care,
