Pedal Hilton Head Island

Pedal Hilton Head Island

Come and experience Hilton Head's culture and welcoming hospitality, marvel at its beautiful island scenery, and enjoy award-winning cycling while raising funds to support the most valuable asset we have, our children. In its 19th year, Pedal Hilton Head Island has been a cornerstone event for the Boys & Girls Club. Your participation in Pedal Hilton Head Island supports our commitment to keep children on the path to academic success.

New this year: 3 ride distances will be offered in Bluffton! Rides for every level of cyclist give "pedalers" a chance to see Hilton Head Island, a Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community, or tour the neighboring community of Bluffton. Routes feature some of the best vistas and communities in the Lowcountry.

PEDAL-FOR-A-KID CHALLENGE

Pedal-for-a-Kid is a registration upgrade that supports the Club's scholarship fund. Many of our young people would not be able to attend the Boys & Girls Club without the help of scholarship and fee assistance. We do not turn away any kid due to an inability to pay. The Pedal-for-a-Kid option includes the standard ride swag, a commemorative 2026 Pedal jersey, an included tax-deductible donation to the Boys & Girls Club ( donation-receipt mailed directly from the Club ), and best of all, a photo of a Club kid to pin to the back of your jersey during the ride! We encourage challenge riders to fundraise beyond this special registration. Please contact [email protected] for help creating your personal fundraising page.

2026 PEDAL JERSEY

( 2025 jersey shown. 2026 design coming soon! ) Included with the Pedal-for-a-Kid upgrade or purchase separately for $80. Jerseys purchased after March 8th will be delivered in June.
