Enjoy the ride of your life with the Jackson Chance Foundation (JCF)! The Owl Ride for Jackson is a two-day, 111-mile round-trip bike ride from Chicago to Valparaiso, IN. Starting from Chicago’s lakefront, the route features breathtaking views and scenic bike trails all the way to Valparaiso. Riders will bike 55.5 miles on Day 1, enjoy a complimentary dinner and an evening in Valpo, and then complete another 55.5 miles on Day 2 to return to Chicago. With a mix of rolling terrain and a few punchy climbs, the ride offers something for cyclists of all abilities. A one-day ride option is also available. All riders are invited to join a post-ride celebration on Sunday, featuring dinner, treats, and massages!

Proceeds from the Owl Ride for Jackson benefit JCF’s NICU Transportation Program, which partners with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, Northwestern Prentice Women’s Hospital, and Rush University Children’s Hospital to provide complimentary parking passes for NICU babies and their families.
