Key West Bike Ride (3-Day)
March 7-11, 2027

Tour Highlights

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 16th Annual Key West Bike Ride! Participants should plan to meet us in Homestead, FL, at our host church on Sunday afternoon 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. In Marathon, 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. We couldn’t possibly invite you on this tour without mentioning the amazing hospitality of our host churches! By the end, 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 11th), we’ll give you a ride back to Homestead or Ft. Myers at 7:00 am.

Where the money goes

Not to Ends Adventures

Participant registration costs pay for the event itself. The majority (90%) of all fundraising 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 helps us do what we do even better. Tax deductible receipts and year end giving statements are provided to all event participants and donors.  None of these funds go towards any of the Ends Adventures Crew members. We are all donor-supported missionaries. Find out more about our financial transparency and accountability standards on our About page.
