Pedal for Purpose: Ride Scenic Trails, Support Local Families.

The 34th Annual Steeple Chase Bike Tour takes place on August 16, 2025, in Willimantic, Connecticut. This charity cycling and walking event supports four local nonprofits—Windham Area Interfaith Ministry, Windham Region No Freeze Project, Cl!ck Food Hub, and Project Imo. Participants can experience picturesque routes across northeastern Connecticut’s serene "Quiet Corner" on-road, gravel, and walking courses, culminating in a lively community post-ride festival.
