VeloSano Trike & Bike is on Saturday, July 26.
Children ages 3-10.
Some communities will still be hosting their rides in addition to the signature ride at the Zoo on July 26. For more information, click here.
Children will ride on one of three age-specific loops throughout the Zoo.
Children must be between 3 and 10 years old to participate.
Early Bird registration this year is $30 and includes Zoo admission for the registered rider and one guardian. Prices will increase on May 15, so register early!
*Zoo admission is only valid on the date of the event.
Registration includes a Junior Rider t-shirt, rider credentials, admission to the Zoo for the registered rider and one guardian. If registered prior to June 13, riders will also have a Junior Rider Starter Kit mailed to them, which includes the previously mentioned items, plus other cool swag!
* Zoo admission is only valid on the date of the event.
Riders registering prior to June 13 will receive their starter kit in the mail. Riders who register after June 13 will be able to pick up their t-shirt and rider materials at the Zoo the morning of the ride.
The recommended fundraising goal is $250. Participants who go above and beyond their fundraising goals will be rewarded for their fundraising efforts through our Little Big Wheeler Program. 100% of every Participant raised dollar supports pediatric cancer research at Cleveland Clinic Children’s.
Riders have until Wednesday, October 15, 2025, to fundraise.
Yes, children participating in the African Elephant Loop (Ages 3-4) may ride scooters and strider bikes during the ride.
Yes, helmets are required, and must be worn at all times during the ride.
Safety is a top priority during the ride. Cleveland Metroparks Police and Cleveland Clinic Event Medicine will be on-site throughout the duration of the ride. There will also be volunteers stationed along each of the three ride loops to ensure rider safety.
Parents are welcome to walk with their children who are riding on the African Elephant Loop (Ages 3-4) during the ride. We ask that while walking on the loop, you be mindful to other riders around you.
For parents who have children who will be riding on the Savanna or Wilderness Trek Loop, we ask that you refrain from walking with your children and instead be a part of our cheer squad along the route. Signs and cowbells are encouraged!
Riders come together as a team to support a mission. Teams can be made up of family members, friends, classmates, teammates, neighbors, etc.
Each team member must register individually. The team captain creates the team and once this is completed you can register to “join” the team.
Teams may be as small as two participants and there is no limit on the number of riders a team can have. Teams can consist of riders who are riding different loops.
Whoever creates the team becomes the Team Captain. Once the team is set up, the Team Captain lets team members know to search for and select the team when they register to “Join a Team”.
Yes. Team donations are accepted and are reflected in the total dollars raised by the team.
More information on this to come soon.
