$135 is the cost to register and participate for SMART Ride 18. This includes hour overnight housing on Friday November 19th at our overnight destination and food and snacks on the route
Why is there a $135 registration fee?
The registration fees helps to cover the operating costs for SMART Ride, which operates as a 501(c)3 non-profit. Rent, utilities, costs to run the website, etc….are paid for through registration. This allows us to give back and guarantee that 100% of the money you raise will go back to the benefiting agencies.
2020-SR17 historical information
I am registered, what happens to the fee I paid already?
If you registered prior to August 17th, you are still registered for SR17 and you have the options to either:
a) Roll your registration over to SMART Ride 18, November 19th & 20th, 2021.
You can still participate this year in SR17.*
b) Donate your registration fee to help offset the costs of producing the SMART Ride
and then re-register and pay for next year’s Ride when SR18 registration opens in
November.*
**This option will be available in the coming weeks when you log into your SMART Ride account on our website.**
In addition, we ask you to commit to fundraising $1250!!! While not a requirement, any amount raised will help to support our six benefiting agencies. Visit our fundraising page for tips on how to raise money this year!
