RATPOD is a one-day, charity cycling ride which allows Camp Mak-A-Dream to continue our mission of empowering cancer survivors and their families to live with and beyond their diagnosis. RATPOD takes place in Dillon, MT with the remarkable scenic Big Hole Valley of southwestern Montana as your backdrop. Riders will encounter wilderness mountain ranges and pristine rivers. It is bicycle nirvana!
In Dillon, festivities for RATPOD begin Friday with event registration taking place from 3-6pm. On Saturday, the rides begin in front of the UM Western campus followed by post event fun on the grounds of the campus. Hear Campers share their stories, listen to music, enjoy dinner & revel in your successful completion of RATPOD.
Ride support, Saturday night BBQ & festivities and some swag are all included in your registration fee.
As the single largest Camp Mak-A-Dream fundraiser of the year, by registering for RATPOD, riders are also agreeing to raise a minimum of $100 in donations for the cause (separate from the registration fee). Following registration riders will receive directions on how to setup their personal fundraising pages which they can then share with their family and friends who can support them in their RATPOD ride. Once you raise this $100, you will be eligible to receive a coveted RATPOD t-shirt.
You will also have the opportunity to either earn a jersey through your fundraising achievements ($500 raised will earn you a standard jersey and $1000 raised will earn you a yellow jersey) or purchase a standard jersey.

Riders will also receive a personalized QR code for fundraising following registration.
