What to expect?
Get ready for an epic adventure! It’s not just any race—it’s a thrilling run-bike-run! We welcome racers aged 4-22 years old, with an awesome range of disabilities and special needs. Whether it’s zooming past on adapted bikes, rolling in wheelchairs, or cruising on two-wheelers, everyone’s invited to join the action!
Each racer gets a volunteer buddy or parent who’s there every step of the way, cheering them on, timing and counting laps, providing assistance, ensuring safety, and making sure the fun never stops. Racers may use their own assistive devices, adapted bikes, wheelchairs, bikes with training wheels, two-wheel bikes, etc. to complete the course.
Every participant scores a cool t-shirt and a race medal for conquering the course.Post-race snacks, hydration stations, and high-fives galore await all our champions at the finish line!
Who?
Racers of ALL abilities! Ages 4-22 years old! We even have options for siblings and friends to race too! Past races have included children with differences such as Cerebral Palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida, and global delays; everyone is welcome!
