Master the Journey

Master the Journey is a Colorado based nonprofit organization focused on supporting those living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), their families, and their friends.  Our events complement existing T1D support programs by offering youth cross-country mountain bike racing to inspire participation in the sport and encourage active, healthy lifestyles while at the same time raising funds for our friends at the Children’s Diabetes Foundation.  

People with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) cannot live without continuous insulin therapy, delivered via multiple daily injections or insulin pump.  Out-of-pocket expenses for these patients and their families create disproportionate financial strain that is over two times the national average. 

Additionally, the overall health and quality of life for people with T1D is significantly improved with routine physical activity. 

Action sports, such as mountain biking, promote healthy living while also imbuing a sense of thrill and excitement for the participants.  Prior to Master the Journey, there were no mountain biking events focused on supporting the T1D community who could benefit significantly from such a program.

Master the Journey supports the T1D community by:

• Offering family-friendly mountain bike events to complement existing T1D community support events to promote healthy, active lifestyles. 

• Reducing financial strain on T1D patients and their families by directing event proceeds to the Children’s Diabetes Foundation Helping Hand Program. 

We are striving to keep event registration costs low so that everyone can participate.  We rely on volunteer support and charitable donations to offset operating expenses required to run safe, family friendly events.
