Why RAAM?
Because it's there was George Mallory's answer, as to why climb Mt. Everest.
RAAM has a similar draw. At the very least, it's the honour of adding their name to the prestigious roll call of RAAM Finishers and Team RAAM Finishers.
RAAM is more than a bike race. It is about ordinary people being great. It's about realizing dreams,
a journey of the heart and soul. It's about being the toughest of the tough. It's about camaraderie,
teamwork, and the incredible RAAM family. It's about taking the stage for a charity or cause that
matters, to raise awareness and funds. It's about the vastness, richness, beauty, and generosity of
the United States of America and the people who live there. It's a lifetime experience never to be
repeated.
The Race Across America endures due to its amazing effect on the human consciousness and for its incredible feats of willpower, inspiration, and heart.
Commitment to Charity
RAAM has always served as a high profile vehicle for racers raising money for charitable causes. RAAM participants have raised over $ 1 million for charity in each of the past three years. The Lon Haldeman Award was created to honour racers who raise the most funds for their chosen charity. With so many worthwhile efforts supported by our racers we felt it was best not to align ourselves with any specific cause but rather to let our racers use the race as a platform to showcase their chosen charities. However, every year RAAM supports charitable causes that warrant special consideration.
