Camaraderie + Competition, Continued.
Build Your Team | Upload Your Results | 4 Total Challenges | Compete Worldwide
BTC Team Challenges have a simple goal – provide team competition opportunity, regardless of the challenges we continue to face. The BTC Team Challenges are designed to allow athletes from around the world to compete against one another in the most accessible way possible. Different schools, states, and countries are all facing their own obstacles to “normal” competition, but we all still have the opportunity to compete in some way. The BTC Team Challenges are more than just an individual virtual race. They are different distances and styles of racing than what we are used to, but they are specifically designed to be a team pursuit, even as many normal team events are not possible. Competition and Team are core components of our club and sport that will never change. We believe there is still opportunity to compete, improve, and challenge each other despite the obstacles we face. Join the BTC Team Challenges and compete with us!
