PEAKS to Conga 2026 2026

Description

PEAKS to Conga: A Ride with Purpose About the Ride: PEAKS to Conga is an annual road bike ride and cancer fundraiser from Cody to Shell, Wyoming. All proceeds benefit PEAKS (People Everywhere Are Kind & Sharing), a nonprofit that supports cancer patients in the Big Horn Basin by helping cover gas, groceries, and other non-medical expenses during treatment. Since its inception, the ride has raised more than $450,000 to assist local friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers facing cancer. Join us for our 15th annual ride on Saturday, June 20, 2026! This is a fun, non-competitive, fully supported event that begins at 7:00 AM at the parking lot of Cody Coffee Roasters and Acension FBO Network (3001 Duggleby Dr, Cody, WY). The 66-mile route features rolling hills adorned with tribute signs honoring those who have battled or are currently fighting cancer. The ride ends in the quaint community of Shell, Wyoming. After the ride, relax in Shell’s community green space and grab food or drinks from 307 Pizza, the Shell Bar or Shell Store. Stick around for yard games and an afternoon of live music starting at noon. We will also have a raffle and local vendors, including massages ($1/min) to sooth your muscles after the long ride! We will also have a craft/card table where anyone can make inspirational cards for the cancer patients that receive PEAKS grants. Make sure to bring cash for vendor purchases and for the raffle! Registration for this fully supported event is $100 (there is a processing fee of $7.00). There are no refunds.
