Outreach Events
Join Catalyst Asheville at one of our community outreach events! We are looking for members of the Catalyst family to come out & help represent Catalyst!
Adaptive Greenway Rides
Catalyst Sports is thrilled to bring you an Adaptive Bike Greenway Series! These rides offers
individuals with physical disabilities the chance to explore parks & greenways on adaptive bikes.
These rides are structured differently from our traditional group rides. The Greenway Series will take place at different parks & greenways in western North Carolina. We encourage adaptive riders of all ages to bring a friend or family member to join your ride in the park (Please have your guest bring their own bike, or plan to walk/run with you during your ride). Catalyst will help fit you to one of our fleet adaptive bikes & give you instructions on how to safely ride. You are then free to enjoy your ride.
We are looking for Sponsors for our 2026 Greenway Series. If you know of an Organization who would like to help bring this event to our community, please reach out to Shane@CatalystSports.org
