bikeathon
Pedaling charity event
A bikeathon is a long-distance cycling event organized to raise money for a cause, where participants collect pledges based on miles ridden.
Like walkathon and marathon before it, the -athon suffix signals an extended endurance activity: The charity bikeathon raised over fifty thousand dollars for cancer research.
