After 14 successful years, The King Challenge is now changing from major road ride and fundraising event to benefiting Krempels Brain Injury Center, to The Doc King Adaptive Tour, an all-ability ride now open to all, not reserved only for Krempels member brain injury survivors.
Since the beginning of the King Challenge, member participation was always part of the event. Named for Ted King’s father, Dr. Ted King, a former Krempels Member and Stroke survivor, the DKAT operated out of ride HQ while the route rides were out on the streets. Offering three 30-minute heats on a short .5 mile loop course, and utilizing adaptive cycles in partnership with Northeast Passage, the DKAT is an all-ability friendly and safe way to get out and experience the joys of cycling.
The DKAT is now open to all riders who wish to experience an adaptive cycle, not just members of Krempels Brain Injury Center. A limited number of adaptive cycles will be provided by Northeast Passage, or you can bring your own.
The DKAT is now the primary event and held in Portsmouth, NH instead of Stratham, NH. Road routes will not be available for 2025. The DKAT course is a .5 mile course around the Community Campus in Portsmouth, NH. In future years, we plan to offer longer loops on the open road.
The Kids Fun Ride: Between our three adaptive heats, there will be two 20-minute Kids bike rides. Kids 3-10 are welcome to bring their trikes, kick/balance bikes, scooters, and training wheels to the course. Helmets are required. When not riding, enjoy bubbles and facepainting! This category requires FREE registration.
There is no longer a fundraising minimum. While fundraising is encouraged and appreciated, riders no longer a need to meet a fundraising minimum to participate.
Registration is only $20 and is OPEN NOW!
