17th Annual Michawana Bike
September 19,2026
PLEDGES – A minimum of $50 per biker is required to participate in the trip, but we encourage you to see how many people you can talk to and how much money you can raise to send kids to camp! Donors can give online at michawanacamp.org/donate or by sending a check (memo: Bike) to 6475 Wilkins Rd, Hastings, MI 49058. You can collect the donations before or after the race. Fill out a pledge form to keep track and turn it in at registration on the day of the event.
PRIZES – There will be prizes for the biker who raised the most money, as well as prize baskets you can win. The more people who sponsor you, the more tickets you get towards winning a basket!
KIDS – Kids are welcome if accompanied by an adult and helmets are strongly encouraged!
SAG WAGON – The ride is a down-and-back so you can ride as little or much as you like. We will have a sag wagon in case you run into trouble or just need a break, so don’t worry about the distance!
Great Fundraiser for all ages!!
Let us know if you have any other questions! #sorebunsforJesus
