  The Moonlight Loop is back on the calendar for Saturday, July 12, 2025, with a 9:00 p.m. start time. This 19-mile nighttime bike ride is one of the most enjoyable events Columbus offers in the summer. It’s scenic, social, and supports a great local cause.
Not a Race—Just a Good Ride The Moonlight Loop isn’t about speed. It’s a relaxed group ride through town, starting and ending at the Bartholomew County Public Library/Visitor’s Center Plaza (536 Fifth Street). Cyclists ride together and pass some of the city’s best-known architectural landmarks along the way. It’s a great way to see Columbus from a different angle—under the moonlight. Supporting Animal Care Services This ride benefits Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services (FCACS), the fundraising arm of Columbus Animal Care Services. The money raised goes directly to the PetFIX program, which provides low-cost spay and neuter services to local pet owners. That program plays a big role in reducing the number of unwanted pets in our community. Here’s Where Registration Stands Now As of today, online and early in-person registration have closed. But you can still join the ride by registering at the event on July 12. Be sure to bring cash or check, as that’s the only form of payment accepted at this point. On-site registration will be $40. What’s Included All registered riders will receive:
Please note that T-shirts aren’t guaranteed for those registering this late, but they’ll be available while supplies last. Want to Do More? You can still honor a pet or an animal-loving friend or family member by sponsoring their name on the back of this year’s event T-shirt. The donation for a sponsorship is $250. If you'd like to take part in this tribute, contact Columbus Animal Care Services for details. In Summary The Moonlight Loop is a chance to enjoy our city in a fun, laid-back setting while supporting a cause that matters. I’ll be out there, and I hope you’ll join me. It’s not too late to be part of something special. You can find more information or make a donation at Animal Care page here. Comments are closed.
