Bike for Charity

We often think of running races when it comes to events designed to raise money for charity. But what about biking? 

Biking is a great form of exercise that can help shed unwanted pounds and get your ticker in top shape. And committing to a biking event can provide the motivation you need to stick with training. If you haven’t biked in years, it’s easy to pick it back up. You’ll remember just how to ride sooner than you think.  

When it comes to biking for charity, it’s fun to get creative. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider choosing an event in a faraway destination. Traveling for a race will up the ante when it comes to sticking with your goals. Plus, it’ll give you a great chance to see a new part of the country or even a different part of the world.

One popular option for hardcore bikers is the Ride to Defeat ALS. This ride traverses beautiful Colorado. But you don’t have to choose an option this challenging. With a little research, you can find a local biking event that takes place on flatter land. And if you can’t find an option you like, visit a local cycling shop for ideas. 

Charity Bets

Charitybets.com is a fun app that helps runners raise money for a cause. According to Cosmopolitan, you pick an event to run in and then share the news of your running and fundraising goals with your family and friends. Then they can bet on how likely you will be to reach your goal by making a pledge. And after you’re done, you can share news about how you did on the site. Talk about a fun way to raise money for charity! 

Obstacle Course Events 

Obstacle course events, like the Tough Mudder, have become all the rage among fitness enthusiasts. Some of these types of events strictly raise money for charity, and others give you the option to raise money for charity on your own.
