ADK UNITE 2026 - FINAL STANDINGS & PRIZES

Wow, what a month! Together, we moved a total of 35,232.6 miles to fight hunger. That's 12.5 times across the United States east to west. It's also 3,779 more miles than in 2025.

And… we nailed our fundraising goal of $12,000 thanks to a last minute surge and a generous donation from an anonymous donor. With some pledges still coming in, I'll keep the donation window open until Wednesday and the easiest way to contribute a little more is through Venmo to @BikeADK. 100% of every single cent will go directly to our community food pantries.

Alright, results and prizes!
