Cranksgiving 2022: Collect food for local charity Hope for Food - 26th and 30th of November
Join us for the 2022 edition of Cranksgiving Bournemouth, collecting food for local charity Hope for Food, which was founded in 2012 and is run entirely by volunteers to provide essentials to people in need.
It's our eighth Cranksgiving, supporting Hope for Food, and we will be hosting two events this year to collect as much food as possible for those who need it most.
Cranksgiving is an annual charity cycle in which riders must collect food items from a list of specific shops as quickly as possible. After the ride, we will donate all the collected food to Hope for Food.
This event is free for everyone to enter and open to all abilities; riders must purchase their own food items on the list, which will cost around £6.
Bring lights and a lock, and we encourage all riders to wear helmets. You will need a bag to carry all your shopping items as you go around the route.
