2010 Children's Hospital Courage Classic
 July 31- August 2
Since it began, The Children’s Hospital Courage Classic has become one of Colorado’s most-anticipated, best-attended bicycling events. The 157-mile Tour winds through some of the prettiest places in Colorado, including a climb up Vail Pass and a cruise down the bike path from Copper Mountain into Dillon.
Nearly 2,400 cyclists and volunteers participate in the three-day event, as well as several thousand rider family members and spectators. The 2009 event raised over $2.3 million through sponsorship and rider-solicited donations.
All funds raised support The Children’s Hospital, which is the only freestanding, not-for-profit pediatric hospital in the Rocky Mountain region and is considered to be one of the nation’s best hospitals for kids. No other hospital in the region cares for more sick and injured children, does more pediatric research, or trains more pediatricians and pediatric specialists than Children’s.
