The
Kansas City Cranksgiving is an insane race and shopping spree all over
the city - checkpoints are set up a various stores - you check in by
buying a specific food item at the stores - there is no registration fee
- your food purchases at the checkin points are your registration - all
food items are then donated at the end of the race to the soup kitchen.
Just a great way to have a great day and help those in need. Bring
your own bicycle and something to carry the food items in - all are
welcome to participate.
We start at 2 PM at the Discovery Center 4750 Troost Avenue Kansas
City, MO where everyone will receive a manifest and instructions on
what to buy. You'll ride to the 5-7 grocery stores, bring back your
items and receipts and meet at Acme Bicycle Company in the Crossroads
district for the after party and awards. Awards to the fastest and
most complete male and female and a special trophy, the Mott-ly Cup to
the most generous. We've got bands, refreshments and door prizes lined
up. You'll need to bring:
a Bicycle (You could actually run it if you're that hard-core)
about $10 to buy groceries and something to carry them in and a pen
That's it. No entry fee (if you feel absolutely like you must pay
something, feel free to join the Federation or donate to our
light fund.
