Upcoming Feature Event:
Earth Week Climbathon | A fundraiser for Vindeket Foods!
EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 30TH | complete on your own time!
We’re passionate about creating a more sustainable future here at Ascent, which is why this Earth Month we’re stoked to be partnering with Vindeket Foods for our Climbathon, a bike-run-climb triathlon (12.4 mile bike, 3.1 mile run, 1000 feet of climbing), to support the work they do right here in our backyard!
The Climbathon is an on-your-own event that you can complete solo, or in a team of 2! The routes are now live in our Strava Club. Feel free to try them out in advance! This must be completed in one continuous effort. For example, you cannot do the bike portion one day, and then complete the run and climb on a different day. Everything must be completed back to back, just like a regular triathlon!
Vindeket Foods is a local non-profit that keeps food out of our landfills by rescuing food that would otherwise be thrown out, and providing affordable food to our community! You can learn more about the awesome work the Vindeket team does on their website vindeketfoods.org, on their Instagram @vindeketfoods, or chat with their team at Member Night on 4/24!
