YMCA Bike-A-Thon

The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA will host the 12th Annual Bike-A-Thon on February 8, 2014 from 7:00 am – 3:00 pm in the Mega Studio of the Y.

This eight-hour studio cycling event is made up of over 40 teams and nearly 300 participants all riding to raise money for the YMCA’s Annual Giving Campaign. All proceeds benefit children, families and seniors in need in our community and give them the ability to access YMCA programs through financial aid. The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA has offered quality programs and YMCA membership to all community members, regardless of ability to pay for over 43 years. Last year over 2,000 children, seniors and families received financial assistance from the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA!

A Health & Safety Fair, live and silent auctions, as well as program demonstrations make the Bike-A-Thon a fun and lively event. Prizes go to teams who raise the most money and everyone receives free giveaways from local sponsors. Local eateries provide food and refreshments while the Y's top-rated studio cycling instructors navigate our teams through eight hours of high-energy fitness fun!
