What is a SPINATHON?

A spinathon is a massive, non-competitive, group cycling event that’s held indoors. You can share a bike with your teammates or spin solo. If you can pedal a stationary bike, you can spin! No experience necessary.

It’s fun. It’s rewarding. It’s healthy!
Ride your bike to amazing music and team spirit with our inspiring instructors. Win valuable prizes and giveaways. Then sit and relax and enjoy a delicious lunch.

Two ways to participate:
1. Individual category: Spin solo for the full 3 hours. $150 plus the pledges you can raise (tax receipt for $125).
2. Team category: 2 or more people sharing one bike. $100 for each team member plus the pledges you can raise. (tax receipt for $75).

We need your pledges to meet our goal!
A healthy cause with healthy results
Since medicare does not cover program fees, CHIP, a not-for-profit organization, will use these funds to help individuals with limited financial means to participate in our programs.

Helpful ideas to raise money for the event:

• On line donations are now available using the Montreal General Hospital Foundation page , making it super easy for your sponsors to send in their pledges. Make sure they mention the CHIP Spinathon and the person they are sponsoring.
• Ask/email/call family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you. You can download a specially designed letter (Word doc.), then send it to as many people you can think of.
• Get others to join your team or challenge them to participate on their own.
