Thanks to the Marshfield Amateur Radio Society, there will be individuals at rest-stops along all bike routes for additional support.

The Bike Tour is held in conjunction with the Marshfield Maple Fall Fest held on September 17 and 18 at Wildwood Park in Marshfield. Activities include over 150 arts and crafts booths, live entertainment, sunflower contests, maple demonstrations, pancake and maple sausage breakfast, and much more.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Marshfield is a not-for-profit organization that provides a temporary “home-away-from-home” for families whose children are undergoing medical treatment at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Children’s Hospital or Marshfield Clinic. In 2010, RMHC of Marshfield provided over 400 families a place where they can find lodging, strength, and stability when their child was ill for little or no cost.
