The Qualcomm Million Dollar Challenge is an unforgettable seven-day, 620-mile journey down the breathtaking California coastline from San Francisco to San Diego. The ride begins on Saturday, October 17 with an arrival in San Diego on Friday, October 23, 2009. Participants have the option of riding a final stage on the 56-mile bike course used for the San Diego Triathlon Challenge on Sunday, October 25. The Qualcomm Million Dollar Challenge riders will play a memorable role in that day’s “celebration of abilities.”
Participation includes a fully supported ride, including hotel accommodations for seven nights, daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, tour leaders, sag wagons, mechanical support, first aid, massage, and bike transport from Southern California to San Francisco prior to the start of the ride. Each rider will be outfitted daily with MDC-branded cycling apparel and have the opportunity to take part in a 20-week training program, including group rides in San Diego, indoor cycling classes and a customized training manual.
The money raised for the Qualcomm Million Dollar Challenge will help towards the payment of handcycles, racing chairs, sports chairs and sports prosthetics for challenged athletes, as well as help subsidize their competition and training expenses.
