Or, choose to ride, walk, run, or paddle virtually, from anywhere Saturday, June 12th - Sunday, June 20th.

Loop the Lake is more than a bike ride - it's an opportunity for our community to rally around our lakes! All registered participants will receive a super-soft event tee. Event proceeds will support Clean Lakes Alliance’s work to protect and improve our lakes through on-the-ground projects, educational programs, and water quality monitoring.

About the Ride: In-person on Saturday, June 19th

Join us in person on the official Monona Lake Loop by starting and ending at Olbrich Park (3527 Atwood Avenue, Madison) on Saturday, June 19th. The course will be open from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. so that riders can ride at their own convenience. Riders will travel 12 miles clockwise around Lake Monona. Bikers are encouraged to observe Dane County social distancing guidelines. In-person riders who finish the course before 2 p.m. will receive a free beer or non-alcoholic beverage.

About the Ride: Virtual - choose your own course (Saturday, June 12th - Sunday, June 20th)

Participants may ride, walk, run, paddle, or rollerblade along any route they choose! Share your enthusiasm for our lakes and encourage others to join by sharing photos and videos from your Loop the Lake adventure with the #LooptheLake hashtag!

Want to mimic the original Loop the Lake route? Feel free to head over to Lake Monona and follow the “Lake Loop” bike path clockwise or find a 12-mile loop in your neighborhood! You could also ride around Monona Bay, Lake Wingra, or your favorite lakeshore bike path!
