Ashland Alleycat 2026

Come join the Ashland Alleycat! A scavenger hunt style bike race. Happening on May 16 2026, at Railroad Park. This year is special as we are teaming up with the Ashland Bike Festival, including the A st block party, from 12-4pm, just down the street from the alleycat! See below for more details for the Ashland Bike Festival.

Participants will have the opportunity to solve clues, ride the race, and complete challenges and collect tokens along the way for a chance to win glory and fabulous prizes! There will be competitive and non-competitive awards available to win... but we're all winners when we're having a good time.
For this years event, there will be 2 tiers of races:

Kitten: ~5 miles - geared towards kiddos and families
Bobcat: ~10-15 Miles - geared towards young adults and adults who like to bike
Schedule:
10:00 (not sharp) - Arrival, Registration, Get Clues
11:00 (sharp!) - Race Begin!
2:00 - Lunch and Awards Ceremony
Your suggested donation of $10 - 20 per rider helps fund the meal and the expenses to use the city park.
