Cranksgiving is a food drive on two wheels. Part bike ride, part madcap scavenger hunt. All you need is a bicycle, a lock and a bag! This event is FREE, but you'll need $15-$20 to purchase food. Donations will support Meals on Wheels West Michigan. Pedal the streets and trails of Grand Rapids as you search for specific items on their requested donation list. Once you've collected items from each checkpoint and arrived at the finish, the donations will be collected at GRBC Fulton shop, and then handed over to MOWWM. Cranksgiving is a national event that occurs in over 100 cities across the United States and Canada. Organized by Grand Rapids Bicycle Co. What to expect:
Registration begins 2pm
Race officially starts: 3pm
Roughly 2 hours of combined ride/shop time
5-7 grocery store checkpoints
Start and Finish at Grand Rapids Bicycle Company Fulton St.
What is needed:
Bike, a lock (to keep bike safe while in stores), and a way to carry all your donated items to the finish.
For those looking to participate with their whole family, or anyone not feeling up to the whole race, we will have a family friendly group ride from our shop, through the neighborhood and down to the family fare on Fulton. Items from the donation request list can be bought at family fare and dropped off right at GRBC next door; a good way to join in the fun without as many logistical hurdles. This will take place during the race, so those looking to participate without the commitment of racing, we encourage you to join!
