Families
Due to much confusion in the registration process for families last year, we are no longer setting up a fee for family riders. Each rider, regardless of age, will be required to register and will receive a free t-shirt and lunch. Riders under 18 years of age DO NOT need to meet the minimum fundraising requirement.
Teams
There is no extra registration fee to set up a team.
Fundraising Requirements
In addition to the registration fee, each rider must commit to raising at least $100 for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. If you form a team, each rider must average $100 on your team. (For example, a team of 10 must commit to bringing in $1000 together.)
Once registered, each rider will be able to create an online fundraising page with tips and tools for raising money. Each team will also have their own fundraising page, which connects to individual rider pages.
Although our minimum requirement was to raise $100 last year, the average rider raised $250! To reach our goals this year, we are strongly encouraging each rider to bring in at least $300. With the tips and tools we will provide you on your fundraising page, it will be easy!
Forming Teams
We strongly encourage team participation! Get friends, family or co-workers to form a team and let the competition begin! Whether you form a team or ride solo, each rider over 18 must raise $100 to ride. (For example, a team of 10 must commit to bringing in $1000 together.) You will be asked if you want to form a team at the time of registration, but if you decide after registering to form or join a team, you can certainly do so. Every team will have a fundraising page, which connects to your individual rider pages, so you can see your team total increase!
