Be a Part of our Future!
The Spring 2025 series was the first step in building a sustainable Adaptive Mountain Bike (aMTB) community in the DC Metro area. Catalyst Sports recruited riders and trained volunteers to Launch aMTB programming and support our partners.
We are actively looking for sponsors and partners to help make this vision a reality. If you or your organization want to support the growth of adaptive mountain biking in the region, we’d love to connect with you! Please reach out to shane@catalystsports.org to explore how you can help.
All contributions help us deliver mountain biking to the community. Beyond the bikes, It takes tubes and tires, tools in the tool box, and gas in the truck to make these programs happen.
Adaptive Rock Climbing
Indoor Rock Climbing: We host monthly adaptive climbing clinics for youth and adults with a wide range of physical disabilities. These sessions are open to all levels of climber from those who have never climbed before to experienced climbers looking for regular opportunities to climb with others.
Location: We now climb at 2 locations in the DC/Baltimore area!
