Casa Cycling Challenge

The CASA Cycling Challenge allows individuals and teams to test their endurance over a 24-hour period while raising funds for children in need. It will be held rain or shine beginning at noon Aug. 11 and concluding at noon Aug. 12, 2012. Electronic lap-counting and timing services will be provided by Planet Adventure, with live on-site results posted on flat screen TVs.

The event is hosted by Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. at its 2-mile test track in Lafayette. The track is part of Subaru’s Backyard Wildlife Habitat and will provide a wonderful environment for the event, with no motorized traffic, no loose gravel, no potholes or many of the other hazards associated with a ride over public roads.

The 2012 event is limited to the first 50 individual riders and the first 50 teams to register. Teams may have as few as 2 people, but no more than 10. Register early to ensure your entry in the Cycling Challenge and receive a discounted rate.

For individual riders it is a race against the clock to see if you can reach your personal mileage goal. The three men and three women accumulating the most miles in 24 hours will be recognized at a brief awards ceremony at the track immediately after the ride concludes. For teams, the ride is like a relay, with only one member of a team on the track at a time. No tandems will be allowed. The three teams with the most miles will also be recognized for their efforts.

The registration fee includes a T-shirt for each individual rider or team member; one ankle strap for each individual or team (only one member of a team may ride on the track at any given time, so teams will share one ankle strap); and food and drink at our 24-hour SAG stop. Additional fundraising is not required, but it is encouraged. The top three individual and top three team fundraisers will be named at the awards ceremony.

The CASA Cycling Challenge benefits the CASAs for Kids Fund. This fund supports the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program in its efforts to enrich the lives of abused and neglected children in Tippecanoe County.
