LEOWSTRONG Bike Ride

Supporting the YMCA’s annual campaign, carrying out the Leow legacy, and creating your own.

The LEOWSTRONG BIKE RIDE is a fund-raising event that honors and remembers the late Dr. Tom Leow, an orthopedic surgeon in the community for 17 years, who passed away in November 2015 of cancer.
Tom was well-known for his enthusiasm for both his Ironman and long-distance biking.

He and his family were regulars of the Menominee River Century Bike Ride, now known as the LEOWSTRONG BIKE RIDE.

The goal of the LEOWSTRONG BIKE RIDE is to help and support those with chronic illness, encourage healthy lifestyles and to keep Tom’s memory alive and active in the community. All proceeds from the ride are kept local and support the Greater Marinette-Menominee YMCA’s vital mission work in our community.

Dollars through the YMCA’s annual campaign support community hunger needs, memberships that create friendships & opportunity, accessible child care, support for chronic disease, community volunteer work, & more.

Jenni Campbell, CEO at the Y has said: “LEOWSTRONG is already a familiar program name at the Y. What better way to show Marinette, Menominee, Peshtigo and surrounding communities that we continue to be an organization they can count on to give them every opportunity to live health!”

The LEOWSTRONG BIKE RIDE will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2022. It will feature 4 routes (6 mile, 25 mile, 50 mile & 100 mile) following the scenic Menominee River. Starting and finishing at the Menominee YMCA through MI with a short ride into WI and then back into MI.

Sponsored by Bellin Health and ride partner, MyTeam Triumph. Thank you to all of our community supporters!
