Clean Air Challenge

Every Mile Counts

Join us in Talkeetna!

Join us on a mission to make a difference for everyone who breathes. We are very excited to announce that on May 13, 2023, we will be riding in the shadow of America’s tallest peak, Denali. We will offer our four traditional ride lengths: 100 mile, 60 mile, 25 mile, and a fun family 10 mile route as well as a virtual option to Cycle Your Way. The in-person and Cycle Your Way options both have amazing support throughout the event!

Clean Air Challenge will celebrate it’s 39th anniversary in 2023. Our mission: to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease is in hyper-drive as we continue to face down COVID-19 through our COVID-19 Action Initiative. The dollars our riders are raising are making a difference at this critical time.
