Stars & Stripes Bike-Run-Walk

The Stars & Stripes Bike-Run-Walk will take place on Sunday, September 29, at the Boonville VFW Post 5538. Proceeds from this event will support Sitrin’s Military Program, which provides comprehensive, complimentary care to post-9/11 veterans and service members.

The Stars & Stripes Bike-Run-Walk is open to all ages and offers two exciting bike riding options. One is the Boonville-Forestport Canal Towpath. This ride is for mountain bikes and is easy up to a 20-mile pedal. The other is a 30-mile road bike ride through Boonville, Forestport, Alder Creek, and is for experienced road cyclists. Additionally, there will be a scenic walk around the Erwin Park, and a non-competitive five-mile run on country roads and towpath trail.

Registration for the Bike Rides is at 8 a.m., with the road ride taking off at 8:30 a.m. and the tow path at 8:45 a.m. Registration for the Run & Walk is at 10 a.m., with the runners taking off at 10:30 a.m. and the walkers at 10:45 a.m.

Participants who raise $200 or more are eligible to receive an official Stars & Stripes jersey or an embroidered polo shirt.
