It’s the annual fundraiser for Feeding South Dakota in conjunction with South Dakota Corn and the Sioux Falls Skyforce and kicking off Corn Week in the process.
It's an odd name, to begin with. But once you figure out that Cranksgiving is a bike event to collect food to feed people, it all comes into focus. This Saturday (Nov. 11) is Cranksgiving in Sioux Falls. Registration starts at noon. Riders leave at 1 p.m. and it ends at 3 p.m. There is a team element if you're into that or you can do it yourself. There are prizes for top finishers and lots of ways to accumulate points and also win prizes.
