WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY KIDS?
We love kids and they ride FREE! Anybody under the age of 18 may participate without charge. We would still appreciate a donation of any amount to the Dream of Wild Health non-profit organization. All Youth Riders (participants under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an adult chaperone with printed waivers and should wear helmets. Parents and children are responsible for one another at all times. By participating in the race, parents and children acknowledge the wide range of inherent risks and dangers associated with this activity. Please consider the length and difficulty of the race with your child’s skill level before committing your child to the event.
When you’re not racing, you’ll be able to enjoy a variety of family oriented activities in and around Wabasha. Otherwise, feel free to leave your kids with the grandparents for the weekend, organize a sleepover with the cousins, or leave them in front of the TV with $30 for pizza while the adults soak up all the sunshine and exercise.
