BK5K Volunteer Event
Sunday, June 15, 7:00 -11:00 am

Lake Park Bandshell

The BK5K is just around the corner, and they’ve been an incredible supporter of our mountain bike team—helping fund supplies and gear through generous donations. Now it’s our turn to give back!

Riders, parents, siblings-everyone can help! We’re looking for volunteers to ride bikes and lead out the BK5K running race. After the lead-out, we’ll also help hand out meals to participants. It’s a super fun event, a great way to represent our team in the community, and an easy way to earn support for our season. Riders, parents, and friends, everyone can help!

Bring your bike, a bike lock, and a helmet for the ride portion—nothing needed for handing out food.
