14 Years and Counting...

Celebrating a Community in Motion

What is Big Wheel Relay?

Big Wheel Relay once again brought together teams of four for a one-of-a-kind race on big wheels, with participants cheered on by friends, family, coworkers, and supporters from across the community.

Race day was about more than just the racers.

The free, family-friendly event welcomed community members of all ages to join the celebration.

Attendees enjoyed food, drinks, entertainment, and plenty of opportunities to connect while supporting a great cause.

How it Worked

Teams of four brought their creativity, energy, and competitive spirit to the course, showing off memorable team names, costumes, and fundraising efforts throughout the day.

Who it Supports

Over the past 14 years, Big Wheel Relay has raised more than $616,000 in support of CHSC programs that ensure communication access for all. This year, the event brought in over $161,000 — our most successful to date — contributing to that incredible total. It was a vibrant reminder that when we roll together, we ride toward a more inclusive future.
