Description

Join us on Sunday, August 30, 2026 for the Hope Echoes on the River Charity Bike Ride supporting CASA Kane County. All participants will receive a t-shirt & a water bottle with their registration! Choose from three scenic routes —10 miles, 35 miles, or 65 miles—all culminating at the historic Kane County Courthouse. Tiered Fees for ALL routes: Adults (18+): $125 Youth (13-17): $50 Kids (12 & Under): $20 Whether you're an avid cyclist or a casual rider, your participation helps us ensure that every child in the foster care system has a safe, nurturing, and permanent home. CASA Kane County advocates for the best interests of children in the foster care system. CASAs, court-appointed special advocates, are trained and serve as a child's voice and the judge's eyes and ears throughout the duration of their case in juvenile court. CASAs become the crucial voice of a child in abuse and neglect cases. They are relied upon most importantly, by the children. Our goal is to raise $250,000, and with your help, we can achieve it. Ride with us and make a difference in a child's life today. All proceeds from registration go directly to CASA Kane County. Once you’ve crossed the finish line, enjoy the post-ride celebration! We’ll have a variety of local food trucks and vendors ready to help you refuel and celebrate your achievement with the community. Safety & Support Helmets Required: To keep everyone safe, all riders are required to wear a helmet. Gear Check: Please ensure your bicycle is in good working condition before the start. Onsite Tech Support: If you run into any trouble, the team from SAMMY’S Bikes will be onsite to assist with minor repairs throughout the event. Can’t ride?  Support from the Sidelines: Donate Today!
