Don't Give Up Registering for Ride and Stride (Updated)

Fun Bike On The Streets During the 2009 Ride and Stride

Update: Jon McLaren has let us know that the small glitch was fixed last week and on-line registration is working for children under 13.

When I tried to register my family for Ride and Stride 4 Rockville, Rock Enroll wouldn’t allow me to include my 9-year old and was charging the $25 adult fee for my 13-year old. Since both are free, a quick call to the staff in the Department of Recreation and Parks (240-314-8620 during business hours) had them registered in no time, but Rock Enroll was unfortunately having technical difficulties with youth signups today. They’re working on fixing the system.

The ninth annual Ride and Stride during Hometown Holidays on Sunday, May 30, 2010 offers running, walking or biking options. Short or long, there’s an option for everyone so all ages can participate: 2K or 5K run/walks, and 12-mile or 28-mile bike rides.

The funds raised from Ride and Stride provide financial assistance for children who can’t afford City recreation and after-school activities, and support the Rockville Bike Fund to promote safe bicycling in the city.

My family has never ridden in the Ride and Stride and we’re looking forward to giving it a try with some friends. Yes, we’re biking! Staff are supposed to be on hand with maps. We’ve been promised food, prizes and health info. Participants can bring a t-shirt, backpack or cycling shirt to be silk screened with the Ride and Stride for Rockville logo.

Residents can register online here using activity number 31709. Rockville residents older than 13 are $25, non-resident adults are $35. Event time is 8 AM until 12 PM. The start and finish location is in front of the Red Brick Courthouse.

Who else is going and what can we expect?
