The Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge is hosted by the Santa Cruz County Cycling Club, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1971.

Our Mission is to bring cycling education to all levels of riders and encourage healthy lifestyles through education, friendship, teamwork and fun.

Proceeds from the Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge allow us to fund Grants and host cycling clinics.  Grants are limited to $1,000 per Grant Request and an Organization may apply for up to $1,000 each year.
