16th Annual Houston Heights Bicycle Rally & Scavenger Hunt

We had so much fun holding our annual Bicycle Rally & Scavenger Hunt over Memorial Day weekend last year that we’re bringing it back to the same weekend this year. Registration is now open for the 15-mile and the 5-mile routes. Early bird pricing will be offered through May 22. We look forward to seeing you rolling around the neighborhood!

The Rally & Scavenger Hunt is open to riders of all ages and designed as a casual, self-paced ride. Entrants can choose between a 15-mile course through the greater Heights neighborhoods, or a shorter 5-mile ride designed for kids and their adult companions. THIS IS NOT A RACE – ALL RIDERS MUST WEAR HELMETS.

Each entrant will be emailed a rally map and a scavenger hunt clue list the day before the event begins. The clue list describes a sight or object that can be seen along the rally course. The person(s) who finds the most mystery objects will be named the winner of the scavenger hunt. Completed scavenger hunt answer sheets should be placed in the mail slot at the Houston Heights Fire Station (107 W. 12th Street). Due to COVID-19, all participants must plan to provide their own water and make accommodations to find restrooms on their own. In addition, we encourage ALL participants to follow the city, county, state and federal guidelines for social distancing.
