About the Event

Baptist Health Paducah will host its annual Spokes for Stroke bicycle ride on Saturday, July 11, 2026, to increase our community stroke awareness and raise funds to invest in life-saving technologies and expanded our stroke care services. Our goal is to keep our community healthy, while giving participants the tools they need to spot a stroke when it is first happening and to help them learn ways to prevent a stroke from occurring.

This is a wonderful bike tour on four well-marked routes through beautiful McCracken, Marshall and Graves counties. Each route is SAG-supported with refreshments and toilet facilities at rest stops as follows: 65 miles with rolling hills (six rest stops), 35 miles (four rest stops), 20 miles with rolling hills (two rest stops) and 10 miles with a flatter terrain in McCracken County (with one stop). Our event begins and ends at Baptist Health Paducah’s Imaging Center, located near Broadway and Joe Clifton Drive, with registration beginning at 7 a.m. The ride will begin promptly at 8 a.m.

For your safety, HELMETS ARE REQUIRED!

Available registration options include individual (including one t-shirt), couple (including 2 t-shirts), and family (with up to 4 t-shirts). Shirt sizes are first come, first served, though we typically order more than enough to meet the needs of every rider. Shirts will not be available until the day of the ride - we will not have an early packet pick-up option.

About Paducah

Learn more about the host city, Paducah.

Paducah is a small city on the Ohio River about midway between St. Louis, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee. The county seat of McCracken County and the largest city in the Jackson Purchase area of western Kentucky, Paducah has a booming riverfront restaurant trade and arts scene in part driven by the city's artist relocation program which offers interest-free housing loans and other subsidies for established artists willing to relocate. Paducah is the hometown of humorist Irvin Cobb and former Vice President Alben Barkley. Fans of contemporary Christian music will know it as the hometown of Steven Curtis Chapman, one of that genre's most iconic artists.
