Hartford, VT

Cranksgiving is a food drive with a twist! Hop on a bike to collect needed items at nearby stores, either racing your friends or taking your time to gather a huge donation! The event is free!

What you need to bring:

• $15-$20 to purchase items along the route
• Warm clothes
• A bike, if you have one (if you don’t have a bike, but want to participate, email us!)
• A navigation device, if you have one (like a smart phone or bike computer, not a compass)
• A way to carry items (backpack, bike bags, bike trailer, etc.)

What we have for you:

• Hot coffee
• A limited number of e-bikes to borrow for the ride (get there early to secure one!)
• Snacks. So many snacks.
• Clear instructions before you begin your ride
• A suggested route if you don’t know the area/don’t have a navigation device
• Handwarmers!
• A phone number to call if you can’t finish and need a ride back to the start 
• Warm soup at the end

Donations will go to our host, the Upper Valley Haven. Once you've collected all your items and arrived at the finish, prizes will go to the speediest ride, the heaviest load, and the best outfit/costume! 

Note: Bathrooms will be a short bike ride away from the start, but right there for the finish. Plan accordingly. 

The ride starts at 9am, but get there earlier for time to enjoy a warm beverage and chat with your community!

We hope to see you there!
