Emmaus Inc. will hold its 35th annual Cycle for Shelter at NECC.

Courses offered are 100 miles, 62 miles, 35 miles, a 15-mile family ride, and a virtual ride. Each attendee is asked to commit to raising $250 by Oct. 21, and if the amount isn’t reached, attendees agree to cover the remaining amount. Officially registered family teams will have a fundraising minimum of $500 per team.

Funds raised support Emmaus programs that help families and individuals who are homeless rebuild their lives. On any given night, more than 350 adults and children call “Emmaus” home. Located in Haverhill, Emmaus programs assist more than 4,000 different people each year, including more than 2,300 children.

Cycle for Shelter features a post-ride cookout and an opportunity to participate in training rides to prepare for the big day.

All riders get goodie bags and special fundraising incentives — raise $750 and get a free 2023 jersey; raise $1,989 and be inducted into the Founders Cycling Club/1989 Society. Virtual riders will receive a Cycle for Shelter 35th Anniversary gift and a goodie bag.
