Our hospitality/snack stops will NOT be accepting free-will donations. Your one-time registration fee will include refreshments at all hospitality stops. We are working on a breakfast option for riders for both mornings and will update this page when it is confirmed.

Lunch Options - $15.00 Adults, $10 Children. You may pre-pay with your online registration or purchase the morning of the event at the registration/check-in table.

Our FUN POKER RUN is very popular and fun for the Riders! Riders try to collect the best "Poker Hand" by drawing cards at designated Hospitality Stops for a chance to win awesome prizes from Bickel's Cycling & Fitness. Two lucky riders who have the BEST Poker Hand on EACH day will win $50! You'll turn in your cards each afternoon in the Keosauqua City Park until approximately 4pm. Winners will be notified via phone or text. Prizes will be distributed during the event and/or mailed on the Monday following.

Commemorative event T-shirts can be ordered at the time of registration. This year's shirt will be a Sport-Tek T-shirt 3.8 oz., 100% polyester with moisture-wicking qualities. Shirts ordered ONLY during early-bird registration can be picked up on the day of the event.
