"DTE's mission is to tell the stories of people pursuing hard things against all odds and to encourage others to stop making excuses, get out, and find their limits. What’s your Distance to Empty?" - Starla Teddergreen
What is the Distance to Empty awards?
The Distance to Empty Pursuit Awards is an award-based cycling program that empowers Colorado women to achieve their cycling goals. With the support of Starla's sponsors and partnerships with several Colorado cycling event promoters, the 2023 awards program provides seven women with mentoring, entries into an entire season of gravel events, products, and help to get to the start line.
The Founding of Distance to Empty
Husband and wife team Gino Zahnd and Starla Teddergreen founded Distance to Empty in 2022 after facing a years-long series of life-threatening, ongoing health challenges. These experiences led them to create DTE to continue to push themselves and help others do the same. Starla has been a professional cyclist for over 15 years and races under the DTE banner as a pro gravel/MTB privateer. In 2022, they started the Distance to Empty Pursuit Awards
