The Balance Bike Racing Event scheduled for September 20 at Tretbaugh Park has been postponed until further notice. New date will be announced soon, coinciding with opening of the new bike skills course.
A balance bike race is a thrilling event where young children showcase their balance and riding skills on balance bikes, which are non-pedal bikes designed to help kids learn how to balance and steer before transitioning to traditional bicycles.
Who: These races are for youth ages 2 – 6.
Equipment: Every participant must supply their own balance bike (no pedals) and helmet.
When: 9 - 11 a.m. The summer circuit will wrap up with an event at the grand opening of the new Tretbaugh Bike Skills Park!
Registration and Fees: FREE program. Registration is required. Register online at Webtrac.
