THINGS TO BRING: bike helmet, bike, water bottle and your GIRL POWER!
The post race party area will be filled with wide variety of activities in our community that girls can learn about and see if there is something they would like to join. Girl Scouts will also have an opportunity to earn a fitness badge by completing the event and post race party scavenger hunt questions! Please come out and support girls finding their GIRL POWER and Get Moving!
