Event Information

Pedal for Pets is CHA’s newest fundraiser. It will be held at our shelter at 3765 Corporate Drive, Columbus to take advantage of the Alum Creek Bike trail that runs behind our property. Pedal for Pets routes are for the serious bike riders and families alike. Following the rides will be pet, bike and people related vendors, games & food. We’d like you to join us in celebrating not only the animals at CHA, but also the healthy bond between animals and their guardians. Did you know that studies have shown that biking and owning a pet can add years to your life? By adopting and caring for a shelter animal, you are not only saving a life, but improving your health, as well. So please join us on September 13 to celebrate you, your family, your pets, and ours!

Short Family Ride - 10:00am

For families with very young children that would like to support CHA. This is a ride of less than two miles round trip. The complete ride is on a bike trail with no auto traffic. You can extent the ride which would add an additional three miles round trip to the ride.

10 Mile Ride - 10:00am

This ride does require two street crossings, but riders remain on the trail at all times and "street riding" is limited to just the amount of time it takes to get across the road. Rest stop provided.

20 Mile Ride - 9:00am

The 20 mile ride starts the same as the 10 mile ride. At times the map indicates there is a bike trail here, it really is just a sidewalk, but very easily ridden. Bikers who are comfortable with it could simply ride on the side of the road as there is ample room for cars to pass. This ride requires multiple crossings of small side streets, but is still extremely family friendly.

40 Mile Ride - 8:00am

The 40 mile ride is over bike trails and country roads with rolling terrain highlighting Hoover Reservoir and local horse farms. Food and rest stop at half way point.
