Bike to Uganda
to all students up for a challenge
Bike to Uganda is a unique, student conceived and executed event, pitting man vs. distance. No matter the campus, the ultimate goal for the event is the same…to bike the distance from one’s campus to Kampala, Uganda, raising money along the way to fund the construction of Building Tomorrow primary-level academies throughout Uganda.
In it’s simplest form, Bike to Uganda is a stationary bike-a-thon and functions like any other charity sporting event. Participants pay a small registration fee to bike and then work to reach their own personal fundraising goals via brick sales, letter writing, and general outreach to their family and friends.
While mileage varies, on average, schools attempt to bike either:
- 7,500 miles, mile for mile over the course of a week, or
- 750 miles in a day, counting 1 mile biked as 10 miles to Uganda
100 percent of the money that is raised through Bike to Uganda events across the country goes directly towards project costs associated with the construction of BT academies in Uganda.
