The 30th Annual 100-Mile Freeborn County American Cancer Society Bike-A-thon rolls through Freeborn County Saturday. The ride begins from the Sibley warming house, located on West Front Street near the Skyline Mall, at 6 a.m. Participants of all ages will be riding to raise money that goes toward the American Cancer Society programs of service, education and research.

There’s still time to get involved. Riders obtain sponsors by asking friends and neighbors to pledge a specific amount of money to be paid for each mile ridden. Pledge cards must be turned in at the Skyline Mall on May 2 and 3 between the hours of 3 and 9 p.m. No one will be allowed to participate in the Bike-A-thon without a ride card. The ride cards will be stamped at each check point along the route. This will be used as a record to show proof of actual miles the rider completed.
