FREE KID'S RIDE SUNDAY MAY 10 AT 12:30 PM - PRESENTED BY NATURE VALLEY

Each year on the final day of the Joe Martin Stage Race, race organizers work to promote cycling to the next generation of cyclists. This year in conjunction with the Fayetteville Public Schools and the local cycling team, Fayetteville Wheelmen; a free kid's fun ride for ages three through twelve years of age will take place during the criterium. Parents are encouraged to bring their children for a fun and supportive spin around the square. Ages three to twelve will have the opportunity to ride their tricycles or bicycles on a portion of the same course as the Pros.

Since May 10 is Mother's Day, there will be a special gift for all mothers and grandmothers of the participants.

The 3-5 year olds will pedal their little legs approximately 25 yards in front of thousands of cheering fans. 6-9 year olds will ride a two block version of the course and the 10-12 year olds will ride one lap of the entire course (1.1 miles). The map shows the route for each age group, plus where registration and parking areas are located. Each child receives a custom Joe Martin Stage Race / Nature Valley medal for their participation, as well as prizes will be drawn for making the trip around the course. This event is meant to promote health and participation - all are winners!
