Ride Walk 4 Art is a fun way to help Calaveras County public schools provide meaningful art instruction to our kids. You get a joyful, monitored, safe ride through beautiful Calaveras County and every dime of our profits is used to expose kids to theater, painting, drawing, literature and poetry.

Our kids need the arts so that they develop life-long creative skills that they will need to survive in our world. And this year, the need is even greater as school budgets have been slashed. Please help us keep the arts in our public schools.

Join us for a day of fun to support arts in education!

Please join us on Sunday, March 19, 2023 for Ride & Walk 4 Art in the beautiful California foothills in West Calaveras County. Choose from 3 bicycle rides—30-miles, 45-miles, or 65- miles—or an easy 4.5-miles walk skirting New Hogan Lake.

Our stripped down Covid Safe Fifth Annual Ride & Walk4Art was a success. But everyone missed lunch! So this year, we'll be serving our famous chicken-in-a-barrel lunch with all the fixin's, plus fully-stocked rest stops.

Make an overnight of the event and stay locally. The tri-lake area has ample camping and other overnight accommodations. Click here to see all accommodations.

We're accepting no more than 350 participants—300 cyclists and 50 walkers—making this an intimate ride with a community vibe. You'll traverse rolling California foothills along roads that rarely see cars, past scenic views of oak forests and pastoral meadows and the blue waters of three reservoirs. The hill climbs offer spectacular views; you can see Mt. Diablo and the Sierra high country on a clear day.

Your participation will help raise funds for the Calaveras Arts Council Arts in Education program, a program designed to bring art, music, dance, and theatre to the schools of Calaveras County.
In the past we have supported watercolor classes, collage instruction, ceramic classes, and school murals. The kids are creative; they are hungry for art. Simply by having fun, you can help us help the children of Calaveras County.
Registration: Opens January 1, 2023
​Registration closes at 300 riders and 50 walkers (Walk tba).
