The 2009 Courage Classic will celebrate the 18th year of a bicycle tour that pedals 172 miles over three days through Washington's most exquisite mountain locales and soars over its most spectacular passes, Snoqualmie Pass, Blewett Pass and Stevens Pass.

Proceeds from the Courage Classic benefit Mary Bridge Children's Hospital of Tacoma, Washington, through the Rotary Endowment for the Prevention and Intervention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Their combined efforts are helping us to stop the cycle of abuse in our communities.

100% of all revenues generated by the Courage Classic Bicycle Tour will support the programs to stop the cycle of child abuse in our communities. Since 1992 Courage Classic participants have raised over 5 million dollars.
