Event Details
Fundraising event between NDSU Newman Center and UND Newman Center.
The event winner is determined by the following ...
- Number of riders overall
- Total Money Raised
- Top 20 Finishers
Ideally on race day NDSU starts in Fargo and rides to Hillsboro, and UND starts in Grand Forks and rides to Hillsboro. We will ride with the wind even if that means busing to Hillsboro and riding back to Fargo.
After the race there will be a free lunch for you.
You will be given a free 2009 Bike Race T-Shirt before the race.
You only have to ride one way and you will be transported back.
If you can't make it the whole way there will be vehicles along the route to pick you up and your bike.
There will be three rest stops along the way that will have snacks and drinks.
They ask that you try to raise at least $200 in pledges to ride in the race. If this seems unrealistic, contact
