Audi and Ducati: The Ultimate Ride & Drive Contest

Throughout their storied histories, Audi and Ducati forged legends racing up Pikes Peak. With the 90th annual running of the treacherous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb at hand, the two iconic brands chose to come together and pit today’s expressions of performance against the mountain that has crowned each with championship glory. For Audi and Ducati fans in the U.S. there’s an added bonus: A chance to experience the power of the Audi RS 5 and the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S together in an unparalleled ride and drive.

And because the Pikes Peak region occupies such a special place in Audi lore, the brand is making a donation to, and raising social media awareness for, the Battle of the Blaze fund also supported by the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The fund is aimed at providing relief to people affected by the wildfires that devastated communities surrounding Pikes Peak earlier this summer.

The child's photo that best meets these criteria will be selected as the Grand Prize winner.

In addition to the Grand Prize winner, six Milestone winners will be selected from each Start Healthy, Stay Healthy ™ Milestone category – Birth+, Supported Sitter, Sitter, Crawler, Toddler and Preschooler. The Milestone winners will each win a $10,000 Gerber Life College Plan ($10,000 value at 10 year maturity. Available for U.S. residents 18-75. Subject to Plan terms and conditions. See official rules for details.). Milestone winners will be determined based on Facebook fan votes. Please visit the Gerber Facebook page for more search details and for tips on how to capture memorable photos of your child from renowned New York photographer Evan Kafka.
