Annual Dr. Wrasse Memorial Bike Ride/Run/Walk
Registration opens May 4th for the 3rd Annual Dr. Wrasse Memorial Bike 4 the Kids coming up August 5, 2023!
About our Event
Established in 2021, this fun, annual non-competitive bike ride (originally titled Bike 4 Fitness) for all ages is held the first Saturday in August at Switchyard Park in Bloomington. All Bike 4 the Kids registration fees go directly to Riley Kids Fund of Bloomington. Bike 4 the Kids features two ride options: a 2 mile loop around Switchyard Park and the B-Line Trail, and an 11 mile loop option that extends to the bridge at Clear Creek Trail. We invite non-cyclists to walk or run with us on the park loop. Our event features live music, food, health and wellness booths, helmet distribution and fittings for kids, and more. It’s fun for the whole family! We are excited to partner this year with Kiwanis Club of South Central Indiana to host their Kiwanis Idol auditions on the main stage after our ride, as they raise funds for Riley. We invite you to stay and listen to the contestants, or even audition for a spot in the Idol competition!
