RLCA Bike-A-Thon
About this race
We are excited to announce the return of the RLCA Bike-A-Thon on 5/23/2026! All proceeds will go into the RLCA Camper Scholarship Fund to assist families in sending their students to a session of camp.
Starting near the camp at the Vestaburg Church of Christ, cyclists will then join the Fred Meijer Heartland Trail, biking to the McBride Church of Christ and then back to Vestaburg Church of Christ.
This is a fundraising event and as such, fundraising is encouraged! Go to rlca.org and print up the pledge sheet. Ask your family and friends to make a pledge. And now for the big news...
Whoever raises the most in pledges will win a certificate to Terry's Cycle for any kid's bike!
Come on out - enjoy a great bike ride and help send a kid to camp.
Contact the office at info@rlca.org or 989-268-5377 for more information.
