How old does a rider have to be to register?

Children 5 and under can accompany their parent or guardian for free and do not need to register. Riders who are 6 to 17 must register and be accompanied by a parent or on-site guardian.

The pace that everyone should be able to ride is 10-12mph for the entire 25-mile distance. The parents of minor children should familiarize themselves with the route. There is always a potential for windy conditions and various levels of incline that may not be suitable for beginner cyclists.

How do I register as part of a team?

After choosing the participant type "adult" or "child," you will be prompted to select if you would like to participate as an individual, join a team, or start a team. If you choose "Join," you will then search by Team Name to find the team you want to join. If you select "Start," you will get to name and create your team, becoming the Team Captain.

If you are a sponsor of the event, you may have received a certain amount of complimentary registrations. Contact us for more information.

How do I register my child?

At the end of your registration, you will have the option to add children ages 6-17 to your registration. Children 5 and younger are free and do not need to register.

Can I register multiple people?

Each adult must register themselves with a unique email address; however, you may register a minor as part of your registration.

Is my registration refundable or transferable to someone else?

The registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, as stated in the terms and conditions. This also includes your inability to participate due to an injury prior to the event day. The good news is that your registration fee will go directly to helping wounded warriors and their families.
