Team Registration

We are offering a $5 team registration discount for the Minnesota Ironman and the Minnesota Gran Fondo. What makes a team, you ask? Any group of 8 or more riders qualifies as a team. Friends, family, bike clubs, race clubs. Whatever. In addition, individual team riders can choose any route to ride – regardless of what the rest of the team is riding. It’s cool. For 2012 Team Registration is available online only.

  • Teams must be 8 or more riders
  • Team Registration is available ONLINE ONLY
  • Team registration will close  April 22nd, 2012

Follow these steps to register as a team for the MIBR or the MGF:

  1. Select a Team Name and a Captain. Team captain must e-mail us to receive a Team Password. Email:team@ironmanbikeride.org
  2. Team Captain must be FIRST to register online; He/she enters the Team Name and the password.
  3. Team Captain shares password and official team name with each team member.
  4. Now each team member can register on his/her own. It’s that simple!

Youth Registration

We welcome youth riders but encourage parents to plan ahead to make sure they have a great riding experience. Consider the weather, advance training, and providing a bike in good operating condition. We’re building life-long cyclists!

We offer a reduced rate for Youth riders (age 17 and under) to participate in the Minnesota Ironman Bike Ride. Youth should ride with a parent or guardian. Cost per youth is $15. Youth that ride with a Trail-a-Bike or on a tandem need to register as a youth rider. Children riding in Burleys or Buggers ride for free and need not be registered. Youth rides are also welcome to join the Minnesota Gran Fondo, but there is no price discount.
