Bike For Heroes

St. Louis JCS Event

August 22, 2026

Join the Joshua Chamberlain Society for an unforgettable ride through the scenic farmlands of the Mississippi Valley on August 16th as we honor and support our adopted Heroes—veterans who have sustained permanent combat injuries and the families of fallen service members. Starting in Columbia, IL, cyclists of all levels can choose from five route options: 10, 25, 50, 80, or 100 miles, each featuring rest stops stocked with snacks, drinks, and amenities. The longer routes even pass historic sites like Fort De Chartres, offering riders a journey through history and heroism.

This isn’t just a ride—it’s a mission. Riders are encouraged to create teams and personal fundraising pages as part of our Peer-to-Peer campaign. It’s a powerful way to involve your network, share the stories of our Heroes, and rally support for a truly life-changing cause.
