Event Description
The 2020 Summit Challenge is a virtual hike/run/bike this year and all fitness levels and ages are welcome to participate!
We are psyched to connect virtually and we’re still in this challenge together! This year will look a little different, obviously, we’ve never done this inspirational event virtually before, but we’re still excited to bring our community together to support those who are fighting cancer and honor those we have lost.
On July 25, we will kick off the 2020 Summit Challenge! We will be all over social media, posting your photos, and sharing your stories of support and remembrance.
THIS YEAR YOU PICK YOUR SUMMIT CHALLENGE!
