ABOUT
We are so excited to celebrate our 5th annual Food Rescue Ride with you!
The 5th Annual Food Rescue Ride (FRR) is our keystone fundraising event of the year. We anticipate hosting 200 cyclists for a morning of non-competitive riding (15 or 30 miles), to be followed by food, drink, and music.
This is our “un-gala” event that features a raffle, silent auction, family-friendly activities, and more. Attendees will represent a wide spectrum of people who work, live, and play in and around Denver, but we can confidently say that all participants appreciate and support the work DFR does to reduce food waste and empower healthy families and communities.
So, where do my fundraising dollars go?
every dollar donated to DFR =
-
-
$7 dollars worth of fresh produce & other groceries donated throughout the week to over 20 communities in the Denver Metro Area
-
2 lbs of beautiful edible food kept from the landfill

EVENT INFO
This is Denver Food Rescue’s yearly un-gala. We wanna be out on our bikes while we fundraise and celebrate the successes of DFR and our neighborhood partners! Our extra-ordinary community is passionate about bikes AND healthy food…for all! Join us for a 15 or 30 mile cruise! Some riders dress as their favorite fruit or veggie, others decorate up a bike trailer and pull 100 pounds of garden soil for an extra challenge. All of us have a great time together and after the ride we party with lunch, drinks, and prizes.
Hybrid and Road bikes available to rent on-site!
This ride is noncompetitive, meaning it’s not a race, which makes it perfect for families and cyclists of all skill levels. Also, helmets are required.
Please arrive to the Smokey Hill shelter at Cherry Creek State Park before the ride for coffee and breakfast. Riders will return for lunch / award ceremony / raffle prize drawings.
