Pedaling charity event
A bike-a-thon is a long-distance cycling event organized to raise money for a cause, where participants collect pledges based on miles ridden.
The "-a-thon" suffix, from marathon, attaches to activities turned into endurance fundraisers: The church youth group held a bike-a-thon for the food bank.
