We are excited you want to join us! Just fill out the form above, letting us know you would like to participate. We'll be in touch soon!
When did this event originate?
In 2013 the Brickyard to Bridge (B2B) began and each year since we have cycled 500 miles from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the Mackinac Bridge in northern Michigan (with 2021 being a different five day ride through the Rocky Mountains!). After 10 years of the B2B, our fundraising event is evolving to a team duathlon relay to encourage more participation, camaraderie, and fundraising for YFCI.
What is provided?
Lunch will be provided for all participating athletes during the event. There will also be some snacks & drinks provided on site, although teams and individuals will be expected to support themselves with the appropriate nourishment and equipment throughout the event.
