Cranksgiving is a nation-wide event that combines two things we love: riding bikes with friends and supporting our community!

Part fun ride, part scavenger hunt, part food drive, Cranksgiving is a team bike ride that sends folks around Knoxville to various grocery stores to collect food items, all to benefit our friends at the WESLEY HOUSE FOOD BANK

Each team will be given a list of grocery stores and food items to purchase, each worth a certain number of points. The team with the highest score and the quickest time wins!

Registration for Cranksgiving opens at 1PM and the ride begins at 2PM, so be sure to show up early to plan the best route!

Sort of…The beauty of Cranksgiving is that it can be whatever type of ride you want it to be. Hit as many grocery stores and get as much food as you want. Take your time and enjoy a casual ride, or crush it out and take home gold, it’s all up to you.

The important part is to have fun and to support our neighbors in need.

1:45pm | Pre-ride rules and kick-off
2:00pm - 4:30pm | Biking food scavenger hunt throughout Knoxville

On the day of the event, teams will be handed their manifests. On the manifest is a list of grocery stores and food items to purchase, each worth a certain number of points. The team with the highest score wins! The ride will begin at 2:00pm and teams must check back in by 4:30pm.
By design, Cranksgiving is and will always be a free event — meaning you will not be charged a registration fee to participate. We do ask that each person on a team bring $15-30 to help purchase food items on the list. But how much you are able to spend is entirely up to you!
- Working bike
- Bag to carry purchases (backpacks, panniers, baskets — whatever you have!)
- $$$ for purchasing food to donate
- Bike lock
- Flat kit (Two Bikes doesn't provide any ride support)
Kinda. That's Ok! Absolutely! Cranksgiving is designed to be a team event (because what's more fun that riding through the city with some friends?!)
You can ride as a team or ride solo. It's up to you! If you're registering as a team, please have each member register and fill out the "Team Name" entry.
