In February 2019, the Organization acquired the rights to the MN Ironman Bike Ride. The legendary ride is the longest running organized ride in Minnesota. From humble beginnings in 1967, MN Ironman Bike Ride has grown to thousands of riders proudly riding it annually. The Organization resumed the ride in conjunction with community event in Shakopee, MN in 2023 on June 17, 2023. This event was the primary fundraiser for the year through registrations and donations it profited over $20,000. In 2024, we will be rebranding the event to the Freebike and holding the event on June 1st.
