Now in its 20th year, the Habitat 500 is a bicycle ride and fundraiser that covers 500 miles over the course of 7 days. Each rider raises funds from family, friends, businesses, and church groups and designates the Habitat for Humanity affiliates they wish to support (both locally and around the world).
Each year is a new route; we tour around the midwest visiting Habitat affiliates, Habitat worksites and Habitat homeowners along the way (in addition to roadside attractions). Habitat affiliates serve as our local hosts for overnight stays.
A key component of the ride is to raise awareness about the need for decent, safe, affordable housing. In this regard, we are in contact with all forms of media to generate coverage and we find the ride is a very attractive story for newspapers, radio, tv, cable, etc. -- we bring a lot of excitement wherever we go.
This years ride will take place July 15-21
