The STARS Mountain Challenge is a community celebration to raise funds to allow STARS to offer life-changing programs that promote independence, self-esteem, and a healthy lifestyle for people with disabilities.
STARS (Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports) provides life-changing experiences for participants with cognitive and physical disabilities, autism, injured Veterans, and their families. Through our programs, participants gain self-esteem, independence, camaraderie, resilience, and courage.
Participating in the Challenge is easy! Teams should be a minimum of 4, or up to 8 individuals and can be groups of family members and friends, business colleagues, alumni, Veterans, and neighbors. The event will try to pair each competing team with an Olympian, Paralympian, or VIP elite athlete to complete a series of fun on-mountain challenges.

- Best Team Costume with a Neon 80’s 10th Anniversary Theme wins a prize
