The #Rally600 90-Day Challenge
Mon May 11th – Sat August 8th, 2020
We can’t cycle 600km together to Montréal this summer, but we can each do 600 incredible things to fundraise for PWA, HARS, and ACCM. Maybe you’re going to cycle 600km locally, or maybe you’ll jump rope for 600 minutes. Whatever you choose to do, log it into your participant profile through the Rally600 online platform/app (available May 11th) and share it with the world. Wow your friends and family and fundraise for the cause. You’ll have three months to complete your challenge and reach your fundraising goal before joining in the fun of the Virtual Bike Rally in August!
