Registration is free for employees who don&#8217;t want a shirt. All funds raised by the Corporate Cycling Challenge will go to Eastern Nebraska Trails Network for trail development in the Omaha metropolitan area.<\/p>\n<p>Participants may choose to ride:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>The Olde River Ride (10 miles);<br \/>\n<LI>Riverside Ride (25 miles); or<br \/>\n<LI>Tour De Fort (42 miles).<\/UL> <\/p>\n<p>All tours begin and end at Omaha&#8217;s Heartland of America Park at 8th and Farnam streets.<\/p>\n<p>The winner in each corporate division of the challenge is based on the number of total employee miles ridden. Like last year, miles logged by employee family members count half toward the organization&#8217;s total. <\/p>\n<p>Medical center riders who register by the early registration deadline, which is July 19, and ultimately show up to participate in the event will earn an opportunity to win a $50 gift card from Metro Health Services Federal Credit Union. <\/p>\n<p>A $100 gift card also is up for the grabs and riders increase their chances to win by riding more miles:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>Those who ride 10 miles earn one opportunity;<br \/>\n<LI>Those who ride 25 miles earn two opportunities; and<br \/>\n<LI>Those who ride 42 miles earn four opportunities.<\/UL><\/p>\n<p>Riders also can earn additional opportunities to win the $100 card by riding farther than they did last year and\/or by recruiting medical center riders who didn&#8217;t participate last year. <\/p>\n<p>Participants can register up to the day of the event, but to order a T-shirt with the UNMC logo on it, riders must register before July 19.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Peter Pellerito at 559-5253 or <a href=\"mailto:ppellerito@unmc.edu\">ppellerito@unmc.edu<\/a> for more information or to register. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Aug. 15, medical center cyclists have a chance to defend their Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge title. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","topic-wellness","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wellness Wednesday - UNMC to defend cycling challenge title<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On Sunday, Aug. 15, medical center cyclists have a chance to defend their Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge title.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2010\/07\/07\/wellness-wednesday-unmc-to-defend-cycling-challenge-title\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wellness Wednesday - UNMC to defend cycling challenge title\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On Sunday, Aug. 15, medical center cyclists have a chance to defend their Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge title.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2010\/07\/07\/wellness-wednesday-unmc-to-defend-cycling-challenge-title\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Newsroom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/unmcedu\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-07-07T05:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WellnessWednesday.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Karen Burbach\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@unmc\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@unmc\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Karen Burbach\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.unmc.edu\\\/newsroom\\\/2010\\\/07\\\/07\\\/wellness-wednesday-unmc-to-defend-cycling-challenge-title\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.unmc.edu\\\/newsroom\\\/2010\\\/07\\\/07\\\/wellness-wednesday-unmc-to-defend-cycling-challenge-title\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Karen Burbach\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.unmc.edu\\\/newsroom\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/ee8fa869fc007fb3f02acf871a6c41d8\"},\"headline\":\"Wellness Wednesday &#8211;
