THE EVENT T-SHIRT REGISTRATION DEADLINE (6/30) HAS PASSED!

Join Adaptive Sports Partners on Sunday, July 28th, for our most exciting event of the year, The Sunrise Ascent on Mt. Washington! The Sunrise Ascent of Mt. Washington is an empowering fundraising event to benefit Adaptive Sports Partners , a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering people with disabilities by building community, confidence, and skills, through sport, recreation, and adventure.

Before sunrise, on Sunday, July 28th, athletes and their teams will ascend the 7.6 miles of Mount Washington Auto Road, determined to reach the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington.

Each team includes an athlete with a disability, and a team of registered crew, who support the athlete as they climb to the summit and help them to fundraise and to reach their Summit Goal Pledge.  After the teams complete their hike to the summit, registered roadrunners help to transport athletes and their crew in their vehicles back down to the base area.  The registration fee for crew members is $75.00.  Anyone who loves to hike and to be a part of team is welcome to register for crew.  Road runners use their own vehicles and register with no fee.  Many road runners help athletes to raise funds also.  Together the teams are inspired by the beauty of the sunrise, the majesty of the Presidential Range, and the determination shared amongst them.​

​The goal for this event is to raise over $100,000 to help fund the operating budget of Adaptive Sports Partners.
