Day of the Tread has been our favorite event of the year for more than a decade. The courses are fun and safe and the all the Halloween themed activities make Day of the Tread the most fun event we've ever participated in.

—Zia Freewheelers Adaptive Cycling Team
“My first time participating in Day of the Tread. My first time in the Land of Enchantment. It could not have been more memorable, the people, the event, the fun, the energy, the breathtaking backdrops of the New Mexico landscape, the very worthy and honorable cause. I’ll definitely give it a 10, a 12 if at all possible!”
—Charlie Wilson, Rockledge, Florida
Fun for all ages and abilities!
