Strider Fest 2022 Weekend Schedule:

The Strider Cup race for 2 and 3 year old classes must use their 12″ Strider balance bike. The Strider Cup race for the 4 year old class are able to use a 12″ Strider balance bike or a 14x Strider bike in balance mode. This race gives those tiny speedsters a chance to put their balance bike skills to the test and caters directly to children 2-4 years old, who want to experience the thrill of racing. We encourage kiddos of all sizes and riding abilities to participate. Admission to the race is free for families and spectators; however, there is an entry fee for all racers.

The Strider Adventure-Cross is for all the 14x riders only ages 4-6 years old and combines running, riding in balance mode, and pedaling all in one awesome race. This is a test of endurance and skill with a longer course that covers a wide variety of obstacles including tires, the noodle monster, the dragon, a tunnel, and the Mount Scary Ramp! There are four stages in this dynamic race, one of which includes a pit stop where a guardian attaches the pedal kit to the 14x so the racer can pedal power through the finish line.

The Discovery Ride is a free event and gives families a chance to explore the Black Hills. This event is a separate registration from the Strider Cup and the Strider Adventure-Cross races. Online pre-registration is suggested but not required. There will be a registration table available at the Discovery Ride event.

Though the event is free, donations are appreciated. All the proceeds and donations from the Discovery Ride will go towards All Kids Bike. Every $10 donation teaches one child to ride.
