Charity Bike Buildathon
This indoor challenge will give you and your team the chance to build bicycles for children in need, bond as a group, and get creative with a fun, hands-on activity.
What Is Charity Bike Buildathon
Charity Bike Buildathon is a heartwarming, self-hosted team building activity that brings your group together to make a meaningful impact. Perfect for teams of any size, this experience challenges participants to collaborate as they assemble brand-new bicycles while navigating fun problem-solving tasks and creative challenges.
Once the bikes are built, your team’s efforts culminate in a special donation ceremony where the finished bicycles are gifted to a local children’s charity. It’s a moment filled with joy and purpose, highlighting the power of teamwork and giving back.
Whether you’re aiming to boost morale, enhance collaboration, or simply do something meaningful together, Charity Bike Buildathon offers a memorable way to bond as a team and make a difference in your community.

Charity Bike Buildathon Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we have inclement weather on the day of our activity? (For outdoor activities)
We appreciate that weather is not always predictable, so we have a back-up plan in the event of poor weather. We can switch your event to our indoor app-based Team Pursuit event at no extra charge. You would need to arrange a backup space for the activity, and we need notice of 2 hours to make the switch.
What if I need to change the date of my event?
We understand that plans can change, so please reach out as early as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Date changes may incur a change fee, please reach out to your Sales Engagement Consultant to discuss further.
Where do these events take place?
Our events can take place anywhere. We have event coordinators located across North America who can come directly to you—whether it’s your office, a venue of your choice, a meeting space, or a unique location that best suits your needs. We’re flexible and ready to make your event seamless, no matter the location!
What if I need to make a last-minute change to my activity?
Depending on what the change is, we recommend discussing all changes with your dedicated Event Manager to see if we can accommodate the change.

All we did was provide the venue
It was a fun event. The facilitator was great to work with and it was easy to schedule. Our group enjoyed it AND felt good about supporting a local charity with the bikes they built.

Team members are still talking about how great the event was and that we need to do more events like it!
I didn’t have a lot of time to plan our team building event. As soon as I signed on with Outback, they took care of everything related to the event from procurement of the materials, shipping them, coordinating with the event space team, and the charity our activity supported. Once on site, our two hosts really brought the energy. Team members are still talking about how great the event was and that we need to do more events like it!
