Join Olympians and Paralympians of Northern California to Celebrate the Spirit of the Games in all of us! Kicking off on Olympic and Paralympic Day, June 23 – this virtual event will encourage participants to walk, run, swim, row, roll or cycle and record miles in a virtual challenge to get to Paris by July 26, 2022. It is 5557 miles measured from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Eiffel Tower, so we have set our donation goal to match the mileage!
This celebration was created by the Northern California Olympians and Paralympians Association (NCOPA)
and the San Francisco Bay Area Sports Organizing Committee (BASOC). Funds raised will support the NCOPA Travel and Training Grant Program which provides funding for Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls.
NCOPA is an organization of Olympians and Paralympians from past and present teams who live, train and work in Northern California. The NCOPA offers fellowship to past and current Olympic and Paralympic team members and coaches; coordinates appearances at youth, community and corporate events; and supports an active worldwide Olympic and Paralympic organization.
