Coaster Challenge

Saturday, September 14, 2024

Six Flags Great America and Special Olympics Illinois have teamed up for the Coaster Challenge on Saturday, September 14, 2024. Take the run out of racing & ride your way to the finish line to support the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois. There has never been such a thrilling way to support the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois – so get on board for this year’s 10th Anniversary of Coaster Challenge. Simply register for $25, fundraise and ride the distance of a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon or Marathon on Six Flags Great America's world-class roller coasters. The earlier you register, the more time to fundraise! All fundraising must be completed by the event date. All Coaster Challenge participants will receive early entry to the park to kick-start their day. Challengers will get VIP access to ride Maxx Force, Whizzer, Viper and Raging Bull from 9:00-11:00am. VIP early entry allows participants to get extra laps in before the park opens. All participants will receive a THE FLASH Pass to all roller coasters until 1:00pm. Coaster Challenge participants can choose from four different fundraising levels. Each level corresponds to a required fundraising minimum per participant. Fundraising Levels

Ride the distance of a 5K = $150 fundraising minimum
Ride the distance of a 10K = $300 fundraising minimum
Ride the distance of a Half Marathon = $500 fundraising minimum

Coaster Challenge participants will have their scorecard stamped as they exit each ride, and the total distance will be tallied when they check in at the scoring table upon completion.
