The All-City Steeplechase
August 5–7, 2022
One Weekend. A Bunch of Cities. All the Fun.
What Is It?
The All-City Steeplechase is an all-weekend bike bash where solo explorers or teams of 2-4 riders complete a list of 10 party-pace challenges on their bike.
Part scavenger hunt and part photo/video contest, we've partnered up with our friends at bike shops across the U.S. and Canada to create personalized challenges for the bike folks in their respective cities. Competitors who complete the challenges and post the proof to their Instagram will be officially entered to win goodies and swag, including an All-City Space Horse microShift, MET Helmet and Five Ten kicks for the grand-prize winner.
Explore your town's hottest food spots and views, spend time with your besties, compete for prizes — whatever your motivation, hop on your bike and chase some good times!
How to Participate
Clear off your calendar for August 5-7, 2022. Sign up for our Handup email list (below) ahead of time to get all the latest info in your inbox, and you'll be entered into a drawing to win an exclusive #AllCitySteeplechase swag pack.
Tell your friends to check out the official list of challenges. Participating shops have put together custom-tailored lists for their respective cities, and we've created a collection of general escapades for folks who don't live near one of the shops below.
Once the games begin, all you gotta do is:
- Get out there on your bike
- Have some fun
- And capture photos and videos of at least five completed challenges
- Your official entry isn't complete until you post your goodies to your Instagram grid in a single carousel-style post (not Stories, FYI). Remember to use the hashtag #AllCitySteeplechase, too. Get wild, get creative — we'll be picking the grand-prize winner based on how many challenges you complete and how rad your post is.
PLEASE DO...
Post a single carousel, including all of your images/vids into a single entry. Label each capture in your comment as they correlate to the challenges. Include #AllCitySteeplechase.
PLEASE DO NOT...
Post separate, individual images/vids to your account grid or stories.
If you can't find some fun, make your own!
