FORT MYERS, Fla. (Nov. 21, 2014) – The 11th annual Everyone Rides multi-event fundraiser is sure to excite all cycling and running enthusiasts. Participants will gather for separate rides and races including 15, 30, 62 and 100-mile rides as well as a competitive 5K and half marathon on Sunday, Dec. 7 at JetBlue Park located at 11500 Fenway South Drive in Fort Myers.

Presented by Ted Todd Insurance and Allstate Insurance, Everyone Rides also includes Everyone Runs and Everyone Relax and supports the programs of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County.

Everyone Rides offers family-friendly, non-competitive multi-distance bike rides throughout Southwest Florida. Riders may choose from four, fully supported rides with Lee County Sheriff’s Office escorting the longer 62 and 100-mile routes along with professional cyclists Phil Gaimon, Frankie Andreu and Brad Huff.

Everyone Runs gives participants a chance to join either a chip timed and competitive 5K or half marathon. Top half-marathon finishers will receive prizes in all categories, and all finishers will get to run through the stadium and cross home plate at the finish line and receive finisher’s medals.

The registration deadline for Everyone Rides and Everyone Runs is Dec. 5. Full event information, including times and registration fees, is available at www.EveryoneRides.org.
