Bike Together!

A charity bike ride to benefit the kids of Thurston County.

Family and competitive rides in the morning, followed by lunch, entertainment, a kids area and more.

All proceeds from the ride go to TOGETHER!'s health and education programming for youth and families in Thurston and Mason County.

What and Why?

Biking with your kids is a positive experience for them, for your family and for the community. As a charity focused on making sure kids are supported, healthy and safe, we feel this ride is a perfect way to get moving and active. Families get time to bond, too, which is very important to kids' success as they themselves become adults.

In Bike Together!, families, recreational riders and competitive riders can all find a route they like. Choose from a 5-mile family loop to the north, a picturesque 10-mile ride heading south, or a 30-mile rural ride from Lacey to Rainier and back, all on marked bicycle trails. You'll find staffed rest stops at each turnaround, then return to Horizons for fresh wood-fired pizza, activities, community booths and more. Are there family members that don't want to ride but would like to join you afterward? You can buy additional lunch tickets for $5. Lunch for riders is included with registration.
