2021 RIDE RUN WALK REGISTRATION IS LIVE!

Registration is NOW OPEN for our 2021 Ride Run Walk!! Join all of your friends on the morning of Saturday, September 25, and help FUNdraise $150K+ for grants to central city congregations in the Greater Milwaukee Synod, ELCA:

Our four in-person event sites across Southeast Wisconsin will feature a new 2-mile walk option, 20 to 50 mile ROAD rides, county TRAIL bike rides, fun outdoor family activities, fellowship, and boxed lunches. We are also offering an online mileage tracker and fundraising platform to all participants, and a Virtual Only site option for those who cannot attend an in-person event, or who would like to run.

 

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

Everyone who registers by MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 at 11:59pm will receive a free event t-shirt, and boxed lunch for in-person events, unless they opt out of one or both during registration.

Pay What You Can: To remove barriers to participation, we are transitioning to pay-what-you-can pricing in lieu of a set registration fee. Participants are also encouraged to use the Fundraiser Page they will create during online registration, or our printable pledge form, to collect donations from friends and family.

COVID-Conscious Event: Although we will accept day-of registrations, we are strongly encouraging online registration to reduce lines. All food and drink distributed that day will be individually pre-packaged, and the entire event (including lunch) will take place outside.

Questions? Start by downloading our Registration & Fundraising Guide for step-by-step instructions and FAQ’s on how to register and fundraise for the event!
