A 50-year ride. Rebuilt. Put your name on it.
The Hancock Horizontal Hundred has been a Findlay tradition since 1974. At its peak, nearly 2,000 riders rolled out of town on a Saturday morning. The bike shop that ran it closed in 2019 and the ride went quiet.
We brought it back in 2025 under Making Miles Matter. Year two is now. Our goal is to grow back to peak — and beyond — with a post-ride party that gives sponsors real time to advertise, mingle with riders, their families, and the broader community.
Why sponsor
- Real local visibility — logos on jerseys riders wear all summer training + shirts riders wear forever + VFW signage + every social post + recap email to hundreds.
- Mingle at the after-party — riders, their families, neighbors, partners, and the general public all at the VFW after the ride. Your booth lives where the conversation happens.
- Community goodwill that's hard to fake — Findlay knows this ride. Be one of the names that brought it back.
- Employee engagement built in — volunteer slots are now a tier benefit. Your team wears your shirt at rest stops, registration, the after-party.
- Social media exposure across the cycle — pre-ride hype, day-of live, post-ride recaps, rider photos, raffle moments.
