Kane County Courthouse

Join us on Sunday, August 30, 2026 for the Hope Echoes on the River Charity Bike Ride supporting CASA Kane County.
All participants will receive a t-shirt with their registration!&nbsp;
Choose from three scenic routes —10 miles, 35 miles, or 65 miles—all culminating at the historic Kane County Courthouse.
Tiered Fees for ALL routes:
Adults (18+): $125
Youth (13-17): $50
Kids (12 &amp; Under): $20
Whether you're an avid cyclist or a casual rider, your participation helps us ensure that every child in the foster care system has a safe, nurturing, and permanent home.
CASA Kane County advocates for the best interests of children in the foster care system. CASAs, court-appointed special advocates, are trained and serve as a child's voice and the judge's eyes and ears throughout the duration of their case in juvenile court. CASAs become the crucial voice of a child in abuse and neglect cases. They are relied upon most importantly, by the children.
Our goal is to raise $250,000, and with your help, we can achieve it. Ride with us and make a difference in a child's life today. All proceeds from registration go directly to CASA Kane County.
Once you’ve crossed the finish line, enjoy the post-ride celebration! We’ll have a variety of local food trucks and vendors ready to help you refuel and celebrate your achievement with the community.
