Welcome Bikers!
Biking is an enjoyable experience that can be relaxing or extremely challenging! In the mountains of Quiché, Guatemala it is a physical challenge to get around. Although we haven't seen bicycles in this rough mountainous area, for kids to access a middle school education after primary school, it is as challenging as biking uphill. When we started Run:Hope in 2015, less than 10% of students were continuing on to middle school in the communities we served. Run:Hope is helping change that and by biking with sponsors, you can help open paths to education in Quiché, Guatemala.
Our Bike Captain for the race on September 10th is Rick Carey. This will be Rick’s first attempt to challenge the time of our local steam train by biking uphill from Cumberland to Frostburg. Rick has run up many hills, but he is ready to take on a new challenge in support of our Run:Hope students and teachers! Rick and Deb Carey will be the hosts for this event day. When you register, check to receive text updates and they will keep you up to date and ready to move!
