Maryland Endurance Challenge

01/16/2023

Thanks to many cyclists for your inquiries about a 2023 event.

We are not able to host the challenge this spring, as we've done in the past.

We're working on several possibilities for a future event - possibly at a different time of year. We're also evaluating different formats, to modify the ride to appeal to more "regular" cyclists, as well as to the endurance riders who have been the backbone of past Maryland Endurance Challenge events.

Take care - and happy new year!

The pages will be updated later today.
The web site will be updated in November.
Reservations will be opening on BikeReg around week 2 in January.
We look forward to seeing you

UPDATE: MANY thanks to all who participated, volunteered, supported, and attended our event on the 22nd! It was a huge pleasure to host the event, and your support will benefit SHIP enormously. https://shipfrederick.com/

We will have the final results calculated by the end of the week.

We WILL ensure that every medalist receives their medal, but it might take a while. We need to ship the medals back to the manufacturer, have them re-worked, get them back, double-check them for correctness, etc. … so please bear with us as we work through that process.
