Many people find the Bike-A-Thon more fun and memorable when participating with a group of their favorite folks. Teams often create costumes for the Bike-A-Thon and can even fundraise together. Individual fundraising minimums still apply. Plus, teams are eligible to win cool prizes - win a team prize by raising the most money! 

How to Form a Team

To form a team, simply create a team during the registration process and select a team name. Everyone you register as a rider will automatically be given the option to join your team, but they do not have to. You can also ask others to join your team. They can join during their own registration process or search for your team name and join later. 

Team Fundraising Minimums

To set your team fundraising goal, don’t be afraid to be ambitious! The default team minimum is set to $500, or the combined minimums for two adult riders. Remember that individual rider fundraising minimums still apply when deciding your team fundraising goal: $250 for adults 18 and older, $100 for youth ages 12-17, $50 for youth under 12. Your team minimum fundraising goal is the total sum of all individual minimums for your team members.

For example, if your team has 2 adults, 1 youth aged between 12 and 17, and 1 youth under 12, then your team minimum is $650:

• $250 minimum per adult x 2 
• $100 minimum per youth aged between 12 and 17 x 1
• $50 minimum per youth under 12 x 1
• Total = $650

For teams with all adult riders, simply multiply the number of team members by $250 to find your team fundraising minimum. If you have a team of 5 adults, then your minimum team fundraising goal is $1,250.

• $250 minimum per adult x 5 adults = $1,250
