Registration is now open for the Sixth Annual Heights Bicycle Rally and Scavenger Hunt!  The rally is open to riders of all ages, and designed as a casual self-paced ride.

Entrants can choose between a 20-mile course through the Heights and near-by neighborhoods, or a shorter 5-mile ride designed for kids and their adult companions – OR DO BOTH – starting and finishing at Marmion Park, located at 18th Street and Heights Boulevard.

The first 300 registrants receive a commemorative logo water bottle!

Each entrant will be issued a rally card, rally map and a scavenger hunt clue list.  Prizes are awarded to the riders who correctly identify the most mystery sights along the route.

There will be one combination check point / water station mid-way on the route.

After completing your ride, celebrate by joining us in Marmion Park for the Post Ride Party beginning at 3:30 p.m. and Awards Ceremony at 4:30 p.m., with entertainment, fabulous door prizes, and great refreshments including picnic fare, beverages and more!
