Copper Triangle Benefits the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson’s

July 27, 2023

Longstanding Colorado Cycling Event, Copper Triangle, Maintains Tradition of Benefiting the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's.

COPPER MOUNTAIN, CO/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Copper Triangle cycling event, operated by The Ride Collective, has benefited the Davis Phinney Foundation since 2006. Over the last 17 years, the event has raised just under $2 million, helping the Foundation bring to life essential programs, research, and content for those affected by Parkinson’s.

By registering, riding, and participating in the Copper Triangle, riders can help raise money for the Davis Phinney Foundation. A portion of every Copper Triangle registration is donated to the Foundation through The Ride Collective, and riders can personally contribute to the Foundation during registration. Finally, riders who desire an even more meaningful experience can sign up to join Team DPF and ride and fundraise together. Benefits of joining Team DPF include private team gatherings, post-ride hospitality, and the chance to fundraise to earn a robust suite of Team DPF gear and incentives.

The Copper Triangle is a Colorado cycling classic based at Copper Mountain. This 79-mile road ride has three climbs over 10,000 feet, each with a timed segment. The loop crests three Colorado mountain passes—Fremont Pass, Tennessee Pass, and Vail Pass—for a total elevation gain of 6,500 feet.

The 2023 Copper Triangle is on Saturday, August 5, 2023, and spots are still available for participants and Team DPF fundraisers.
