Bicyclist and runners will gather food to donate to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank
Cranksgiving functions as a one day charity food drive, done by cyclists in a period of 2 hours. It is a low key bike ride, where bicyclists and runners are given a list of 10 required items to be purchased within a circuit of grocery and convenience stores. The first person who returns to the finish line with all the items required and receipts to prove the purchases will win. There is no entry fee for this event, and all the food collected will be donated to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.
