Key West Bike Ride (3-Day)
March 1-5, 2026

Tour Highlights

Note: Registration for the 2026 Key West Bike Ride is now closed. Please reach out to our Ends Cycling Director, Nick Haner, at NHaner@EndsCycling.com for late registration consideration.

 

In addition to our 5-day/300-mile Key West Bike Ride, we are pleased to offer a 3-day, 140-mile, FL-Keys-Only portion (Monday to Wednesday) of our 15th Annual Key West Bike Ride! Participants should plan to meet us in Homestead, FL, at our host church on Sunday afternoon/evening for an abbreviated version of our Orientation. This will also be a great time of community and integration with the cyclists who have already been riding for 2 days from Fort Myers.

On Monday morning, your 3-day tour begins with a ride that will see you enter the Florida Keys from Homestead via the bypass. Beautiful and scenic views are revealed halfway through the day. Key Lime Pie awaits your arrival in the FL Keys on Monday afternoon.  Tuesday morning, your 2nd day of bicycle travel takes you on Route 1 South to Marathon. That day you’ll enjoy feeding the tarpon at Robbie’s of Islamorada and a few other treats. Arriving in Marathon, you will meet an amazing pastor and congregation there who are always excited to host us for worship. The views at dinner are almost as incredible as the food and company. Wednesday will be your 3rd and final day of cycling – 50 miles from Marathon to the Southernmost Point of Key West. By this time, you’ll have truly bonded and made lifelong memories with your team. Make sure you snap a picture at Mile Marker Zero before going to see the beautiful sunset that God paints at Mallory Square.

The total participants between the 3-day and 5-day KWBR tours are limited to 40 cyclists and 15 Support Staff. There is the possibility of a waitlist if the tour fills up. As always, your registration will not be complete until payment has been received. 3-day participants have the same fundraising goal as 5-day participants. 

On Thursday morning (March 5th), we’ll give you a ride back to Homestead or Ft. Myers at 7:00 am.

For the Youth of
Bulgaria

Our beneficiary, Josiah Venture Bulgaria’s mission is to partner with churches who have the vision to reach these youth, but lack resources and training.  Through your prayers and funds raised, they hope to train and equip many more local churches across Bulgaria to “welcome home” teenagers across the nation. Help us meet the needs of these youth and #PrayPedalRepeat for the youth of Bulgaria!

Where the money goes

Not to Ends Cycling

The majority (90%) of all donations goes directly toward impacting youth served by our beneficiary in this county, in Jesus’ name. The remaining funds (10%) support the administrative costs for our parent organization, New International, a not-for-profit which, in all honesty, helps us do what we do even better. Tax deductible receipts and year end giving statements are provided to all tour participants and donors.  Find our more about our financial transparency and accountability standards on our About page.
