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!

We had a great team representing the American Transplant Foundation this year. Thirty-one people ran or walked with the Foundation’s team, and 21 volunteers passed out water on the course or worked in the expo informing attendees about our work in the community. Special thanks to everyone who came and showed their support for the cause!

Congratulations to Elizabeth Mullen and Michelle Cleminson, team members who placed first in their divisions!

After finishing their 100, 62, 34, 25, or seven mile courses, Team Transplant members were invited back to the team tent where volunteers treated them to smoothies, milkshakes, and massages. Volunteers also staffed an informational table at the tent to inform the 7,000 other Elephant Rock riders and their families about the importance of organ and tissue donation.

Thank you to our 171 team members and dozens of volunteers for making this event such a success! Visit the links and watch the video below to learn more about the event.
