Organized by the Pediatric Research Foundation’s Young Leaders Circle, the Full Speed Challenge (formerly known as bécanes et bottines) is a virtual sports team challenge where participants accumulate kilometers and donations. An adventure that lets you push your limits, connect with other sports enthusiasts and make a real difference for the PRF.
2025 at full speed!
Over a two-week period, from May 14 to 28, 2025, participants covered more than 28,000 kilometers.
This virtual sporting challenge raised more than $85,000 for the Pediatric Research Foundation.
The Pediatric Research Foundation and the Young Leaders Circle would like to thank their partners, without whom the Full Speed Challenge would not be what it is today: Cozey, Marsh, Tennis Canada, Evenko, Festival d’été de Québec, l’Amour du Pain, and Hôtels Le Germain.
