The Race Back to School
The Race Back to School is on! Mark your calendars for Sunday August 22, 2021.
What is the Race Back to School?
The Race Back to School is an annual challenge that encourages runners and bikers of all ages and ability levels to come out for a day of friendly competition!
All event and registration proceeds will be donated to the H.O.P.E (Helping Other People Every day) organization. H.O.P.E. is an important asset to our community, and provides basic services to people in need. Their backpack program provides school age children with backpacks full of food for the weekends, since many families rely heavily on school lunches.

Hosting a Fun Station
We need some creative individuals or businesses to set up and facilitate Fun Stations!
What are Fun Stations?
Fun stations are opportunities for racers (in certain categories) to score extra points in addition to laps on designated loops. They can range from physical fitness challenges to brain teasers.
Does the challenge have to be related to running and/or biking?
Not at all! Fun Stations in the past have included yoga, soccer croquet, apple printing, tree identification, and more!
Can I advertise my business at my station?
Absolutely! Hosting a fun station is a great opportunity to connect with youth in the community. You are welcome to bring a banner or branded swag as part of your Fun Station.
