Just 12.5 miles long and ONLY $30, our shortest course is a great way for kids, beginners, families and friends to enjoy a morning on the bike.

Leaving at 8:30 from downtown Greencastle, riders pedal thru the campus of before linking up with the out to Big Walnut Sports Park.

From there, they are safely guided across the road by local police officers 👮‍♀️ Then, they go north before coming home on Albin Pond Road and up 🆙 Arlington Street and down ⬇️ Franklin St. Oh, just in case they need a quick break, we have a SAG stop with water, 🍌 and more halfway thru the ride 🤩

Our 12.5 family-friendly race has definitely grown to be a favorite among families with kids and locals who just want a good ride on a cruiser or hybrid bike. Oh … and it’s e-bike friendly.

$30 comes with your entry and lots of great stuff like a water 💦 bottle with the logo.

There IS same day registration for our 12.5 course BUT you only get the water bottle if you pre-register. So sign up now or come join us the morning of Saturday, June 20th. Same day registration is at 👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏻
