Description

Cranksgiving began in 1999 in New York City by a group of avid cyclists to raise donations and supplies for their local food bank. Today, cities all over the country participate in this event on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. We are very excited to be hosting our First Cranksgiving and hope to make it a huge succcess.

How much does it cost? Nothing! Your donations are your entry

Where are donations going?

To the Fremont Township Food Pantry

What do I need to bring? Bike, helmet, money, something to carry items in (rack back pack, trailer)

How do I play? You will be given a list of items to collect. Your items must come from 3 different locations listed on your route. The order does not matter as long ast you make purchases at each location. * you may purchase gift cards instead.

How will the ride go? Arrive at M&M at 11am to check in, sign waiver, receive your item list and route map. We will all leave by 11:30am to set out on route. The route is roughly 7 miles of road/sidewalk. When you come back you will check in and weigh your food items. Then help yourself to warm beverages and snacks.

Is there a winner? While you don't have to race, there will be prizes for the first people back as well as a Trailer division. (heaviest food collected wins the Trailer Division)

What if it's Cold? Dress warm, Really Really Warm!

Can my children come? Of course! We will have an abbreviated route for families with children on bicycles under the age of 16.

What if I can't make this awesome event?
If you can't make it to the ride we will gladly accept your donations all day on Saturday (10am-5pm) Anything helps!
