Apply for the Wheelchair Challenge

The Sitrin Wheelchair Challenge program provides a custom racing wheelchair to a program participant that completes the Boilermaker 15K in 2 hours and 15 minutes or less in an every day wheelchair.

Since 1997, 40 racing wheelchairs have been awarded to the Challengers. Program participants are chosen though an application process. Typically one chair is awarded per year. Applicants not chosen to be the Challenger can still participate in the race, but are not eligible to win the racing chair. Winners of the racing chair are not eligible to win prize money.
