Cycle for Strong Kids

SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, February 1st, 2025

Teams of 5 – $100

Help the YMCA raise funds and heart rates through a fun, high-energy charity cycling event that will impact the lives of local children and families in need! One in five children in our YMCA is only able to participate because of the financial assistance provided through our YMCA Strong Kids campaign, which is funded by our many generous donors.

Let’s ride together and invest in local kids today.

The Event

Cycle for Strong Kids classes run on the hour, each hour from 8 – 4:00, 45 minutes in duration. This year the event is located in our brand new studio!

We offer team photos, door prizes, team prizes, swag bags and more!
