Join us for the 36th Annual Gator Ride!
Ready to make a difference while enjoying an unforgettable cycling experience? Join us for the 36th Annual Gator Ride, where your pedals have the power to change lives!
This year’s ride will take you on an incredible journey over the iconic Fred Hartman Bridge, offering breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Monument and even a ride on the historic Lynchburg Ferry. Not quite the route for you? No worries, our 33 and 53 routes offer thrills without quite so many chills.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a great cause to support, this ride is for you!
But this isn’t just about the ride—it’s about putting your pedals to the metal and your dollars to good use. Every mile you cover helps us step closer to ending hunger in our community. Your participation and support will provide essential meals and resources to those in need.
As an MS150 Additional Training Ride, this is an event that you need to place on your calendar. Course lengths are 33, 43, 53, and 63 miles. There is even a 6-mile family ride!
All proceeds from the Gator Ride, Gear Up to End Hunger, will go toward our Annual Campaign. The most basic need for survival is food, and an unacceptable number of families need food assistance in our community. Hearts and Hands of Baytown is leading the fight to address food insecurity by providing residents access to fresh, healthy food via our five pillar programs. In all our endeavors, we work to remove the stigma of needing food and provide clients with opportunities to strive toward self-sufficiency.
Because of support like yours, we can provide food for families in a dignified and supportive manner while supporting services with collaborating partnerships to eradicate hunger and address the underlying causes. All proceeds from the event are invested directly back into our community.
