3/23/2026

DETROIT, Mich. – March 23, 2026 – Pedal to Provide, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting food insecurity in metro Detroit, is excited to announce the 5th annual Stroll & Roll event, taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at Hines Park in Westland, Michigan.

The Stroll & Roll is a non-competitive event that allows participants to choose between a 2, 6, or 12-mile walk, run, bike, or rollerblade through Hines Park. This year’s event will raise funds to directly benefit NOAH at Central, a community hub offering resources, support, and services to empower individuals and families in need in Detroit, Michigan.

Since 2022, Pedal to Provide has raised $50,000 to help end food insecurity, and aims to surpass this amount in 2026 with the help of our Stroll & Roll participants and sponsors. Participants raise funds by collecting pledges and donations.

“Stroll & Roll encourages healthy lifestyles and promotes the joy of giving back,” said Ed Gaines, Executive Director of Pedal to Provide. “We’ve seen firsthand how much fun it can be to raise money while participating in activities like cycling, running, and walking, and we’re thrilled that our supporters share our passion for fighting food insecurity. We hope to surpass last year’s fundraising efforts and make an even greater impact in our community.”

Participants should register in advance to participate at www.PedalToProvide.org. Registration is $35 and includes a t-shirt, raffle prize entry, and lunch.

Event check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and the event will start at 9:00 a.m. The parking and check-in address is Nankin Mills Park, shelter #1, 33275 Hines Drive in Westland, Michigan. Participants should enter at the intersection of Ann Arbor Trail at Hines Drive, as Hines Drive will be closed to vehicle traffic.

Pedal to Provide’s 2026 Stroll & Roll sponsors, as of release date, include Auto Club Group (AAA), Meijer and Hawkes & Associates.
