RAGBRAI & The University of Iowa

This year, more than 1,200 RAGBRAI riders are University of Iowa alumni and our partners at the University of Iowa will be with you throughout the week to share their Hawkeye pride. Look for them every day. Go Hawks!

Saturday, July 19: RAGBRAI Expo, Orange City
The University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital "Cool Riders are Safe Riders" RAGBRAI team will provide information about bicycle safety for you and your family and hopes to inspire the next generation of cyclists to ride safely and confidently.

Make sure to also stop at the Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore pop-up shop to stock up on your Hawkeye gear and last-minute items you might need to have a great week on the road. The UI RAGBRAI team also will be handing out free maps of the route that you can carry with you throughout the week.

Daily meet-up towns: Hartley, Brown Park, Bancroft, Latimer, Parkersburg, Fairbank
Members of the University of Iowa RAGBRAI team will be handing out the Hawkeye swag you’ve come to know, love, and rely on throughout the week. Need more sunscreen? How about some lip balm? We’ve got you covered. Look for them while supplies last.
