We are thrilled to announce that last year’s champion, Les Schwab Tires, will return to defend their title in the corporate Cycle Pub race. The competition is heating up as they go head-to-head with this year’s gold-level sponsors: R&H Construction, Severson Plumbing, Haven Co-Working and our esteemed title sponsor, Mike’s Fence Center. These local businesses are not just supporting a great cause—they are also competing for bragging rights as the fastest and most spirited team in Central Oregon!

“Excitement is stirring, and we cannot wait to defend our title at this year’s race while supporting local youth with Heart of Oregon Corps,” said Evelia Sandoval of Les Schwab Tires. “The energy and enthusiasm from the sponsors and the community are incredible, and we’re looking forward to a night of fun and fundraising.”

With community support, Heart of Oregon hires and trains 225 youth, ages 16-24, annually in the fields of conservation, construction, childcare, and customer service.

Endless Summer Nights is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of community and a testament to the power of coming together for a common cause.
