Now entering its 25th year, the Habitat 500 is a bicycle ride (not a race) and fundraiser that covers 500 miles over the course of 7 days. Each rider raises funds from family members, friends, businesses, and church/community groups and designates the Habitat for Humanity affiliates they wish to support (both locally and around the world). This ride is coordinated and hosted by Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota.

The ride has three options: full week, three-day, and one-day. We limit participation to 135 multi-day riders and 200 one-day riders. Each full week rider is required to raise a minimum of $1,000, but the average amount raised is over $2,710 per rider. 3-day riders must raise at least $700, and 1-day must riders raise at least $250.
