Reading Recreation Commission’s food service program is an instrumental part of feeding the Greater Reading community’s kids. The current restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 outbreak have increased the necessity of RRC and at the same time limited their ability to raise funds to combat the uptick in food insecurity in the region. In the wake of our postponement, Reading Radsport is asking the community and past participants to step up and help raise additional funds to support RRC’s mission to continue to feed children of Greater Reading. We encourage the community to join us in our friendly competition to record the fastest road cycling, road running, trail running, and mountain bike times up the designated routes on Mt. Penn. These solo efforts will comply with the current requirements of physical distancing in place. Participants will be required to make a minimum donation of $20 to RRC and then record their solo efforts up Mt. Penn using Strava. All proceeds will go to RRC’s mission to continue to provide food security to the youth of Greater Reading. Bragging rights will go to the fastest time and most times summited up Mt. Penn.

Brandon Hanson of State Farm Insurance is contributing a Matching Gift of $10 per entry
The first 10 registrants had their contribution supplemented by Brandon Hanson of State Farm Insurance. Brandon has been supporting the Reading Recreation Commission through the Reading Radsport Festival each year with his Citizen’s Hill Climb incentives including the “Lanterne Rouge” prize for the slowest time to the William Penn Firetower. Brandon is one of the first people in Reading to reach out to us about creating a challenge during these unprecedented times, and we are so grateful for his enthusiasm and support.
BONUS CONTRIBUTION: For everyone who contacts Brandon for a no-obligation quote, he will donate another $10 to the Virtual Climb Challenge. You do not have to even participate in the Segments. Just contact him using the button below and mention “Radsport” to help us out.

Contest Details
Dates
Now through May 31, 2020
Entry
- Minimum $20 donation on BikeReg to be considered in the competition. Your donation enters you for consideration on all 4 segments.
- Join our Strava Group
- Run or Ride solo on the segments. Group efforts will not be counted
- Submit your ride to us to make sure you’re effort is counted. We will do our best to record efforts posted to the Strava Group but this helps us make sure you’re fairly included!
Prizes
We are not awarding prizes for the fastest times because we found in our testing that different devices create (sometimes wildly) different Strava results. We created a tutorial for changing your Garmin settings, but not everyone uses the same devices. For this reason, our leaderboards are for your own bragging rights.
Everyone who registers on BikeReg will be entered into a raffle for Radsport merchandise. Check out what we have available on our Shopify store!
