Costs and Fundraising

There are two main components to funding the trip: the registration fee and fundraising.  

Registration Fee:
Summer Ride - fee helps cover things like food, lodging,
the support vehicle, your Fuller Center jersey, and a t-shirt:

Segment Fee - $200
Whole Way Fee - $300 

The second component is fundraising. To ensure that our ride impacts those in need, we've set an ambitious team fundraising goal of $220,000, and need everyone to pull their weight to help us reach it. We require all particpants going the whole way to raise $3,700 before the start of the ride. Riders just joining for a segment would need to raise at least $500 for each segment they will join.
 
However, we don't want you to stop there – We encourage you to set your fundraising goal even higher. Setting even larger goals – like $10k, $25k, or even $50k – will help you and your supporters think big.

Don't let the fundraising aspect of the ride intimidate you - we have great tools and advice to help you reach it, including helping you send out letters, create a personal fundraising page and much more. Most riders discover they can raise more than they thought they could. Check out the fundraising guide listed among our rider tools.

If fundraising is the only thing holding you back, don't let it! We can work something out - contact us at bike@fullercenter.org.

Age Restrictions

Because of the inherent hazards of cycling and our communal lifestyle during the ride, we have the following age policy:

 
Riders under 14 may participate for a one-day ride if accompanied by their parent/guardian. However, we urge participants choosing to do this to use special caution and to be prepared to offer their own support vehicle as needed. As for anyone, experience riding a distance similar to the one they are undertaking is a plus.
 
Riders 14-17 may participate for any length of the journey so long as they bring their own chaperone, such as a parent, guardian, teacher, etc. We ask for at least 1 chaperone per 5 minors.
 

Riders 18+ are encouraged to join us as they are able!
