We are the Cardiac Climbers and we ride our bikes in the Courage Classic each July to raise money for our Heart Warriors -- kids, teens, and adults who have bravely battled congenital heart disease and inspire us and their family and friends each day. Proceeds go to the Heart Institute of Children's Hospital Colorado and fund research endeavors, neurodevelopmental and cardiac rehab programs that benefit families and patients. The 2026 Courage Classic is coming up July 18-19 at Copper Mountain and the Cardiac Climbers are once again poised to make an incredible impact in their 21st season.

It takes a village, and we are so thankful to all of our volunteers, patients, families, providers, sponsors, donors and riders who make this possible. Help kick off the 2026 season in style with us at Denver Beer Co in Lowry on Sunday, May 31 from 11am to 2pm. Tickets are $10 for adults (and kids 12 years and over) and FREE for kids under age 12 (ticket "purchase" still required for head count).
