The PEAKS to Conga 2026 offers a profoundly inspiring 66-mile cycling journey through the picturesque landscapes of Wyoming. Slated for June 20, 2026, this fully supported, non-competitive road bike ride begins at Cody Coffee Roasters in Cody, WY, and concludes in the quaint community of Shell, Wyoming. Participants will navigate a scenic paved route featuring rolling hills, all while being uplifted by tribute signs honoring those who have battled or are currently fighting cancer. Typical race day conditions in June present comfortable highs around 79F and lows around 52F, with a minimal 4% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for an enjoyable ride.
More than just a ride, PEAKS to Conga is a powerful cancer fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting PEAKS (People Everywhere Are Kind & Sharing), a non-profit dedicated to assisting cancer patients in the Big Horn Basin with non-medical expenses like gas and groceries. Since its inception, the event, now in its 15th year, has raised over $450,000, underscoring its significant community impact and heartwarming reputation. Riders can expect comprehensive support along the route, including aid stations stocked with snacks and water, along with support vehicles offering technical assistance. Law enforcement and volunteers will also be present to ensure rider safety.
The camaraderie and purpose-driven atmosphere are central to the PEAKS to Conga experience. The ride culminates in a lively "Shellebration" in Shell, Wyoming, where participants can relax in the community green space and enjoy food, drinks from local establishments, live music, yard games, and even massages. This event is a testament to community spirit, offering a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience for cyclists seeking to make a tangible difference.
