Ride 430 Challenge (Formerly Ride For Semper Fi)
Oct 10, 2012 - Oct 13, 2012
Scottsdale, Arizona – Go Ride 430 Challenge! The ride kicks off October 10 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and will end at Camp Pendleton in San Diego on October 13.
This is the fifth year for the ride, which takes place over 4 days and covers 430 miles. The Ride 430 Challenge is a non-profit cycling event that helps give America’s injured military service members and their families hope and assistance as they travel the road to recovery.
The Ride is a four-day, 430-mile challenge in which cyclists must complete more than 100 miles each day, including mountain climbs. In addition to training and completing the ride, participants must fundraise, with the average rider raising more than $6,600 for the cause; this is more per rider than any other event of its kind.
Money raised by the Ride 430 Challenge supplements military assistance and bridges gaps to help injured service members, as well as families who have lost loved ones, recover. The funding helps provide everything from financial assistance and scholarships to adaptive sports equipment or camps for kids who have lost a parent in combat.
