Register today at steeplechasebiketour.org.

Our event supports the critical work of three eastern Connecticut human service non-profits that help people struggling with drug addiction, homelessness, mental health challenges, and poverty. Your gift, your fundraising truly make a difference in the lives of others.

Just one more week to enjoy our pre-registration discount! Pre-register at bikereg.com/steeple-chase-… by Wednesday, 8/18 and pay $25 for registration and at least $75 in fundraising. After that, use in-person registration at the event and pay $35 plus at least $85 in fundraising.

Consider these... set a personal fundraising goal; reach out to friends on social media - request their support and ask them to share your post; tell coworkers and family members about your goal; reach out to your faith community, membership orgs, and other personal contacts.

Remember that our location has changed this year. Event registration, start and finish happen at St Mary-St Joseph School, 35 Valley Street in Willimantic. Plenty of parking and plenty of room for social distancing. Thank you to Corpus Christi Parish for your hospitality.

Many shifts and tasks available. Great for meeting student graduation requirements. Contact Avery at [email protected].

ONE WEEK AWAY! The Steeple Chase happens rain or shine on 8/21 to raise money for three excellent human service non-profits. Register today for a fun event that makes a difference in the lives of so many people. steeplechasebiketour.org

If you can't ride or walk, please consider donating to the Steeple Chase. Every dollar doubles thanks to the Ossen Family Foundation and all proceeds support the amazing work of WAIM, Perception Programs, and the No Freeze Project. Visit steeplechasebiketour.org/donate.

Seeking FOOD DONATIONS... Cyclists and walkers work up an appetite, so we like to have single-serve salty snacks available at registration and rest stops. Would you consider donating snack size bags? Drop donations at WAIM by 8/19 or the No Freeze by 8/20. Thanks!

A great big thank you to you United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut for sponsoring the Steeple Chase in 2021! Your gift will make a difference in so many lives. #gratitude

People are asking about the best time to go off on your ride or walk. Registration is open from 7 to 11am. and timing is your call. Many people leave before 9:30am. The people riding farthest leave very early. The earlier you depart, the cooler it will be while you ride or walk.

This is the last day to take advantage of our pre-registration discount. Register today at steeplechasebiketour.org/register/ or bikereg.com/steeple-chase-….
