Breaking Barriers in Endurance Cycling

Para Community Efforts (PCE) is committed to advancing inclusion, leadership, and community development through cycling. In 2025, we will support one adaptive athlete—our CEO and a dedicated para-athlete—in competing in the Race Across the Alps (June 27-28, 2025). This initiative serves as a global advocacy effort, demonstrating the potential of adaptive athletes and fostering awareness of accessibility in ultra-endurance sports.

This program is designed to:

• Advocate for Inclusion – Showcase the resilience and capability of adaptive athletes in high-performance cycling.

• Inspire & Lead – Encourage disabled and non-disabled individuals alike to push their limits in sport and life.

• Build Community – Strengthen relationships with international para-sports organizations and support adaptive athletes worldwide.

• Expand Opportunities – Grow PCE’s network, secure strategic partnerships, and create long-term pathways for para-athletes.
