The Rise Challenge
Presented by Niagara | August 9, 2025 & November 8, 2025
Description
The first round is complete – now it’s time to see who will truly reign supreme! Join us Saturday, November 8, for the final showdown of The Rise Challenge Series at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve!
You’ve tested yourself once on The Rise’s grueling 185-step ascent (equal to climbing 11 flights of stairs). Now it’s time to dig deeper, push harder, and show what you’re really made of. Complete as many full rounds (up & down = 1 round) as you can in one hour – whether you’re fighting for the crown or simply fighting for yourself.
Missed Round 1? There’s still time to join the challenge! While you won’t be eligible for the overall series crown, you can still compete! Remember – even completing one round is proving to yourself that you can challenge yourself and rise to the occasion!
Show up for yourself. Every step up The Rise is a victory. Every round completed is proof of your determination. Whether you’re chasing records or simply chasing personal growth, The Rise will test your limits and reward your courage.
The Rise awaits. Will you answer the call – for the crown, for the challenge, or simply for yourself?
