Cranksgiving, the annual Thanksgiving-themed scavenger hunt on bicycles, returns for an ninth year on Saturday, November 23, 2024. Sponsored by the Lost River Cycling Club and Ketlinski Law, the event will feature costumed teams of cyclists riding around town, gathering all the items necessary to fill Thanksgiving food boxes. The boxes go to St. Vincent De Paul for distribution to Treasure Valley families in need.
The teams of riders are expected to bring money to purchase food items, even though many of the items are available free from generous supporting businesses. Teams get a manifest listing the food items they need to collect and a list of fun tasks to complete along the way. Trophies and prizes are awarded to the three fastest teams, the team with the biggest turkey, and the best team costumes.
The event will start at 11:00 a.m. at Clairvoyant Brewing, 2800 W Idaho Street, Boise. The event will also finish at the brewery. There will be entertainment, food trucks, and of course, beer!
