RIDE2020 is a Sportsgrants non-event produced in cooperation with Creative Disruption. The current economic crisis has already closed many event companies, so we decided to try and help as many as we can stay afloat. As endurance athletes we could lose thousands of events that may never come back if we don't help support the race directors and event organizers who put them on.

The beneficiaries of RIDE2020 are event producers and race directors across the US. We have invited hundreds of them to apply for grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to be delivered within one week of the close of the RIDE2020. How much we can deliver is up to you.

The Sportsgrants Foundation is producing RIDE2020. Spo rtsgrants was founded in 2006 and is registered with the IRS as a 501c3 nonprofit. Sportsgrants pioneered the Non-Event, essentially gathering together athletic communities to fundraise around one activity that all the fundraisers participate in wherever they are, thus eliminating most of the traditional event expenses. For examples see: Sportsgrants on YouTube .

The RIDE2020 non-event alllows fundraisers to participate by completing a 25 mile ride on the road, any indoor trainer, or any stationary bike on July 11, 2020 in one of three categories:

Competition 

Competition fundraisers will be eligible for awards and prizes. There will be a $25 entry fee for the
competition division to cover the cost of awards. All results in this category will be checked for accuracy.  

Outdoor

Ride for fun and to keep our event producers and race directors in business.

Indoor 

Do your ride on any stationary bike or trainer that can record distance and/or time. 

How To Post Your Ride

There are two ways to verify your ride (except for the Competiton division):

1. Post a photo of your odometer to Instagram #RIDE2020
2. Upload a photo to the Google Drive folder at this address: https://bit.ly/2XgiRKXcomp
