Cranksgiving 2025 with Nine13Sports
Saturday November 15th
Cranksgiving Indy: Bike Ride - Food Drive - FUN!
Hosted by Nine13Sports at Guggman!
Join us for Cranksgiving, an exciting bike-powered food drive that blends community, giving, and adventure—all on two wheels! Whether you're a seasoned cyclist, just dusting off your ride, or a family with new riders, this event is for everyone. Pedal with a purpose as we collect much-needed food and supplies for elementary school pantries in the Near Northwest neighborhood. Every donation makes a real difference for local students and their families.
Here’s how it works: On event day, you’ll receive a list of local stores and specific items to buy using your own funds. No set course—you choose your route, your pace, and how far you ride. It’s part scavenger hunt, part food drive, and all heart. Grab your bike, bring your giving spirit, and help us make this Cranksgiving the most impactful one yet!
09:00 AM - 01:00 PM
