The Warrior Ride started in 2023 when three of our Warrior Walk Bar Crawl host's decided to take a 130+ mile bike ride from Homewood to Woodhaven Lakes (Sublette, IL) to raise funds for Jackie's Warriors Foundation to Fight Dementia. We DOUBLED our fundraising goal, raising $3000 to help fight dementia!
Since we had such great success last year, we are doing it again in 2024, this time with double the riders! This year's ride will be one day and the riders will traverse a 100 mile route along the Old Plank Trail, I&M Canal Trail, and the country roads of central Illinois!
With double the riders we are hoping to double our funds raised this year as well. We are again going to have a fund raising competition and award a glorious prize and HUGE bragging rights to the rider that raises the most money! **NEW THIS YEAR** we will also be rewarding everyone who donates, and especially those that donate to the winning rider's campaign! We will be raffling off some great prizes, and everyone who donates will get 1 raffle ticket for every $10 donated. If you donate to the winning rider's campaign, we will double your tickets! **SCROLL DOWN TO SEE RAFFLE PRIZES!!**
The ride will be taking place on June 7th. The riders will begin the ride around 7am at Breidert Green Park in Frankfort, IL, and arrive outside Woodhaven Lakes in Sublette IL around 5pm.
