FUNDS RAISED TO DATE:
This is the 2nd Annual Ride for Solstice Century, and we are asking for your support!
Over the past seven years, Zac Larson has spoken with many people about his bike riding. During that time, many people have said to him, “Oh, I could never do that.” With this returning fundraising event, Solstice Century, Zac is giving 100 riders the chance to experience the challenge and exhilaration of participating in a 100 mile bike ride on June 20th, the summer solstice… and we’re doing it for our neighbors in need. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for local charitable organizations in mental health, food, housing and youth services.

LOCATION:
Whalon Lake, 1496 Royce Rd Bolingbrook, IL 60440
DISTANCE: 100 miles around the beautiful forest preserve. This is not a race! The goal is to enjoy the day as a community and encourage/support other riders to complete their century ride. We ask all participants to plan on making a full day out of this experience.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Each rider is responsible for providing a bike and helmet. If you want to rent a bike and helmet from one of our local bike shops, be sure to check that box on the registration form. Family or friends are welcome to stop by and encourage you during the day.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY: We want the day to be fun and worry free for you. We’ll provide food, drinks, and volunteer support along the route.
REQUIREMENTS: Every rider is asked to rasie a minimum of $1,000. You can choose (in the “sign up now” section) to raise funds for a group of pre-determined local charities, with support going to either Mental Health Services, Housing Services or International Youth Outreach.
IMPACT: Every rider is asked to fundraise towards a minimum goal of $1,000 that will go to local charities. We’ll create a fundraising page for you and help you figure out ways to ask your friends, neighbors, and colleagues to support you so that you can reach this goal! You can choose (in the “sign up now” section) which group of pre-determined local charities you want to support.
