Put your fitness to the test on a series of five gravel segments in the Marin Headlands. Even if you’re not the fastest, or decide to donate and not participate, you’ll be entered to win one of the many draw prizes.

Registration:

A minimum $5 donation is required for entry. Click the 'Donate Now' button and follow the instructions. Additional donations are accepted with each $5 denomination getting you a ticket for the raffle. For example, a $20 donation gets you 4 tickets.

Race Format:

- Complete all segments during one ride or take them on a few at a time. Your time on each segment will be ranked, so if you have the fastest time, you’ll be 1st on that segment. 1pt for 1st, 2 pts for 2nd, and so on. The man and woman with the lowest total points on the five segments wins. At the end of the challenge, we will share the winners and the rest of the top 10 finishers.

Food for Families

Help us help our community!

Who are we?

ABC Special Start

ABC Special Start provides Early Intervention services for children 0-3 with developmental delays, congenital differences, and learning difficulties. We are a division of the Association for Behavior Consultants, a non-profit agency. Our staff work together with families in Marin County, CA to address the diverse needs of the families we serve and love.

Urban Tilth

Founded in 2005 to help build a more sustainable, healthy, and just local food system, Urban Tilth has emerged as a local leader, a catalyst drawing together a variety of individual, discrete initiatives into a web of integrated, food- and community-focused efforts. In sum, we farm, feed, forage, teach, train, build community, employ, and give back.

How does it work?

Urban Tilth grows and connects ABC Special Start with organic, seasonal, fresh fruits and vegetables.

ABC passes on these local, farm-fresh, foods to families in Marin with young children with special needs who don't always know where their next meal is coming from.

We need your help keeping this going, so these young children can explore, learn, grow and have enough to eat.

Why is this important?

Good nutrition is essential for a child’s healthy development.

No one can learn if they are hungry.

Making and enjoying food together is an important part of a family's routine. It's also a chance to bond together.

If you can, please help us and Urban Tilth so we may continue to provide this crucial access to healthful fruits and vegetables to families of young children in need.

100% of your donation goes to purchasing food for families.

Every single cent.

Just ten dollars buys a bag of fresh, nutritious, foods for a family of a young child with special needs.

Thank you for helping us keep these families fed. If you can, please consider donating, or spreading the word! Every dollar and every share helps.

Thank you.

Rich City Rides' Mobile Bike Repair
On September 1st, 2020, someone vandalized the Rich City Rides service van. Not pretty. A total 2020. We’re sure the vandals did not know it was our van – we love our community, and we know our community loves us.

We are now raising money to repair the damage. We are going to wrap it in our logo, so everyone will know that it's us, and we are going to use the proceeds from the fundraiser to outfit the van with tools and equipment to bring our bicycle repair program to schools, parks, and community centers.

Help us turn a tragedy into a triumph and take our van to the next level, expanding our reach and service to the community.

Who are we!

Rich City Rides is a nonprofit organization determined to uplift our community and save our environment.

Rich City Rides is a nonprofit community organization. Our youth bike club and fantastic team of volunteers distributed thousands of meals throughout the pandemic. We use the van for camping and day trips in collaboration with East Bay Regional Parks. Rich City Rides is the hub of the wheel of a growing, diverse, inclusive, healthy, and vibrant community dedicated to seeing our neighborhoods bloom. We provide park stewardship, youth programs, free bicycle repair workshops, and on-the-road bicycle celebrations that invite people to experience the joy of riding a bike and encourage them to use it as an alternative to driving. The community we are creating is cohesive and transcends age, race, ethnicity, income, and neighborhood. Through our work, we use bicycles as vehicles for healthy civic change.
