Can my children participate?
Yes! This is a family friendly event and is designed for riders of all ages and skill levels. All participants will be required to register online, sign the waiver and pay the youth registration fee. (Dependents under the age of 16 are considered youth).
Is there a virtual option?
We are excited to be able to ride as a community this year and will not have the virtual option available. Should you wish to make a donation to the event, feel free to do so HERE
What should I do to prepare?
You should get both yourself and your bike ready for the ride. The ride is a challenge so we suggest you train for the ride by joining our Strava Club for suggested training routes. You want to work yourself up to being able to log those kilometres so you are not feeling overwhelmed on September 24th. We also encourage you to get your bike checked before the ride and to make sure you have the right gear—bike shorts, a helmet, and an emergency kit are great items to have with you.
Is the minimum fundraising mandatory?
Cycle 4 St. Joe’s is the health care centre’s largest annual Peer to Peer fundraising event, and we have an ambitious goal of raising more than we ever have! With that, we encourage our participants to raise the suggested minimum of $150 to enable our doctors, nurses and healthcare staff deliver the best care possible to our west-end community.
What is the last day to register and to receive donations?
Participants can register up to the day of the event. This said we continue to accept and collect all donations after the event takes place as well. Please check out our fundraising tips for best practices. Remember, just like your cycle training, fundraising is successful when you start early and follow up. Thanks again for participating and we look forward to seeing you on September 24th.
How do I personalize my Cycle 4 St. Joe’s fundraising page?
When you register to Cycle 4 St. Joe’s, you automatically are given a personal fundraising page in the participant centre. You can customize your fundraising page with your personal message and photo by following some easy instructions found in the Social Media Toolkit.
Now that your Cycle 4 St. Joe’s fundraising page is presenting the authentic you, you are ready to help raise awareness and support the critical needs at St. Joseph’s Health Centre.
