2022 COMPETITION DETAILS

This year’s ride will again include a month-long virtual competition plus the return of our traditional in-person bike ride back to Notre Dame for the first time since 2019!

The virtual competition will start Monday, September 19th and extend 4 weeks through October 14th (9/19 - 10/14) and the LIVE in-person bike ride will take place on Friday, October 14th from downtown Chicago to South Bend.

The virtual competition will be organized through the free activity service, Strava, to allow participants to log as many biking AND running miles as possible. Both the virtual competition and live ride will encourage participants to bike/run for donations to support FIRST Lego League and STEM Education. For every $100 raised, participants will earn additional “miles” to be added to their score (10 bike miles or 2.5 running miles per $100).

For this year's fundraising goal we are targeting raising $100,000 for the Bike Ride for the Kids mission!

Stay tuned for more information about the start of registration later this summer!
