About 2022 Habitat 500

The 2022 Habitat 500: Bike @ Home celebrates the 30-year history of the Habitat 500 Bike Ride. In 2022, we invite participants to cycle any time between registering and September, for as many miles as they would like! Each rider pays a registration fee and also raises funds from family, friends, businesses, and church groups and designates the Habitat for Humanity affiliates they wish to support (both locally and around the world). 

Throughout 2022, online events and activities will be held for riders to participate in. During the week of July 14 - 17, hybrid riders will gather in Fergus Falls, MN for a build day and three days of biking.

This ride is coordinated and hosted by Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota.

Registration Fee:

  • $350 for 3-day hybrid ride (after April 1, 2022)
  • $75 for 1-day or virtual ride

Fundraising:

  • $500 for all 3-day hybrid riders
  • $500 encouraged for all virtual riders
  • $100 encouraged for all 1-day riders

A key component of the ride is to raise awareness about the need for decent, safe, affordable housing. In this regard, we are in contact with all forms of media to generate coverage.
