Russell's Ride 2026 for Cinnamon Center Christian School

Join us for the 1st Annual Burem Missionary Baptist Church Bicycle Ride as we honor the memory of Russell Bradley. Every pedal pushes us closer to supporting a great cause, with all proceeds benefiting the Cinnamon Center Christian School.

Depending on how far you are wanting to ride, we will offer two different routes to choose from. Both options start and end right here at the church. Both rides will be $35. However, if you don't want to participate in the ride but would like to donate towards the Cinnamon Center, there is an option for that too!

• Two Routes: Choose between our 28-mile course or 48-mile course.

• Schedule: Check-in begins at 7:00 AM, and the wheels start rolling at 8:00 AM.

• After-Ride: Stick around after the finish line for complimentary hamburgers and hot dogs!

We hope to see you there for a day of fitness, fellowship, and remembering a special member of our community!
