Celebrating a Community in Motion

What is Big Wheel Relay?

Big Wheel Relay is a team-based relay event like no other. Participants (in teams of 4) race on big wheels, cheered on by friends, family, and coworkers.

Race day isn’t just for racers.

It’s a free, family-friendly event open to all! Bring your friends, coworkers, and loved ones to cheer on their favorite teams and enjoy the fun.

With food, drinks, and entertainment on site, there’s something for everyone. Plus, all proceeds from food and beverage sales directly support Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center, too!

How it Works

Rally your team of four, start brainstorming your most creative team name (and costumes), and secure your spot on race day!

Who it Supports

Over the past 12 years, Big Wheel Relay has raised more than $425,000 in support of CHSC programs that ensure communication access for all. This year alone, the event brought in over $96,000 — our most successful to date — adding to that incredible total. It was a vibrant reminder that when we roll together, we ride toward a more inclusive future.
