posted
on Wednesday, November 6, 2024
Come together and share in some fun (and active) Thanksgiving traditions. November 16, Bike tech will host Cranksgiving, an annual bike ride and fundraising event. On Thanksgiving Day, work out with a 5K run before Thanksgiving dinner at this year’s Turkey Trot.
Cranksgiving
November 16, 2024
10:30 am – 2:00 pm
Meet at SingleSpeed Brewing CF (128 Main Street), Cedar Falls
Not only is it fun, Cranksgiving is an annual food drive on wheels…two wheels. Bike Tech has hosted Iowa’s longest running Cranksgiving event (since 2009). The bike ride is part scavenger hunt and part food drive. Bring your bike, a bag, a lock, and about $15-$20 to buy food. All the items you collect at stores will benefit the Northeast Iowa Food Bank and the Cedar Ben Humane Society.
Turkey Trot
