Moonlight Bike Ride/Walk

JOIN THE FUN THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!

Calling all Kirksville community! There is a fundraiser noncompetitive MOONLIGHT Bike Ride or Walk for FLATS (Forest Lake Area Trail System) on Saturday, April 24th from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.  Participants receive an event t-shirt and bike light!  This is a great chance to show your support for bicycling and walking in Kirksville!

FLATS is working to connect Thousand Hills State Park to Kirksville without having to travel on highways (6 or 63) and will use the funds we raise on a section of the trail in Thousand Hills State Park and for planning the entire route.

You may register in advance through Brenda Snider . . . you can get the flyer/registration from the sponsors of each of the stops on the ride or from this page: Kelly's Furniture, ATSU Thompson Campus Center, HyVee, Adair County YMCA, or from Brenda at American Trust Bank (on the north side of town).

The ride is 12.3 miles around Kirksville while the walk is 4 miles total to Washington Street Java Co. and back to the Health Center. All stops/sponsors will have snacks, beverages, and entertainment. Helmets and lights (we will have lights if you don't already) are a MUST for safety. Participants must obey all traffic regulations.
