Route

Last year the route was pretty long and was difficult for folks that weren't used to riding so long. This year, we're splitting the route into two pieces, to make it more accessible to more people. We will start at Mesta Park, do the 10-mile route, and return to Mesta Park. Those wanting to off-load or be finished or join can do so at that time. Then we will do the 16-mile route. Do the first part or the second part or both. Either way, our charity benefits!

What is Cranksgiving?

Cranksgiving is a food drive on two wheels. The first cranksgiving was in NYC in 1999. Today more than 100 cities participate annually.  Visit cranksgiving.org to learn more.

OKC's  Cranksgiving History

The first cranksgiving in OKC was in 2015. Cranksgiving's roots are in alleycat racing, and OKC's events were no exception. However, the past few years (and probably going forward) it's been strictly a food drive on two wheels for local charity. That said, if anyone is interested in running a race, please step up. This is a community run event and it takes a community to run it. Follow us on Instagram for the latest updates.

Posters

The original cranksgiving events in NYC had cool posters, and OKC did, too! It would be cool to get back to that, so if you'd like to make one to submit for future use, use this form (it's a google form using google drive for storage so requires google sign-in, sorry, but you can also send on insta)! If we get a bunch of entries, we can do a vote or contest or something.
