Max's Big Ride is partnering with Mattamy Homes to present the fourth annual Max's Big Climb - to raise money for a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go to help find a cure for DMD via the registered charity Jesse's Journey.
One hundred years ago the route up Sydenham Hill was known as Horse Kill Road and was 'a climb that taxed the strength of oxen but was beyond the strength of horses '.
More recently Sydenham has been made famous by decorated Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes and been ridden over 27,600 times on Strava.
Join us on Saturday, July 20, 2019 to make your own mark on Sydenham Hill in Max’s Big Climb - The Race Against Time.
This year's race will have an individual time trial, King and Queen of the Mountain winners across multiple categories and once again be a stage in the NCCH Franklin Templeton Investments Youth Tour.
All proceeds from registration and 100% of donations will go to help us in our own race against time to help find a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Make your own mark on Sydenham!
