Two Days of Adaptive Mountain Biking in Vermont 🍁🚵

September 22–23, 2026 | High Fives Foundation

Two days, two incredible riding locations, and a whole lot of HIGH FIVES!

High Fives Foundation headed to Vermont for two unforgettable days of adaptive mountain biking, bringing athletes together for sunshine, fall foliage, and plenty of time on the trails.

Day 1: Blueberry Lake | September 22

The adventure kicked off at Blueberry Lake, where 11 athletes enjoyed a day of riding, building confidence, and connecting with the adaptive mountain biking community.

Day 2: Killington Bike Park | September 23

The momentum continued at Killington Bike Park, where 11 athletes took on another day of trails, progression, and adventure.

15 Years of Progression

What started in 2011 with just six athletes has grown into an incredible community of adaptive riders, many now hitting the trails on their own equipment funded through High Fives Foundation’s Empowerment Fund.

“We spent two incredible days in Vermont with the fall foliage beginning to show and the sun shining! Watching this camp grow over the past 15 years is a true testament to the mission of High Fives Foundation and the incredible community that supports it. When we hosted our first Vermont camp in 2011, we had six athletes trying new equipment and returning to the trails. Fast forward to 2026, and we had 11 athletes riding their own adaptive equipment made possible through High Fives Empowerment Fund grants, alongside four additional athletes exploring new equipment and getting back on the trails. Seeing that growth and progression over the years is truly something special.”

From first rides to newfound independence, these two days celebrated 15 years of breaking barriers, building community, and creating more opportunities to get outside.

Here’s to more trails, more progression, and more HIGH FIVES! 🙌
