THE CHEFS CYCLE EXPERIENCE

Two days. Up to 200 miles. One fully supported experience.

You’ll ride through Central Oregon, share meals and miles with an extraordinary community, and see what can happen when people commit to a difficult goal together.

In 2026, nearly 150 riders raised more than $1.3 million for No Kid Hungry. Watch the video to experience the ride for yourself.

WHAT YOU’RE RIDING FOR

No Kid Hungry is a national campaign working to ensure every child in America has access to the food they need to thrive.

Your fundraising helps connect kids to school breakfasts, summer meals, afterschool nutrition, and critical family resources like SNAP and WIC.

Every $1 raised can help provide up to 10 meals. By reaching your $4,500 fundraising minimum, you can help provide up to 45,000 meals for children.
