The Children's Ride and Run made its popular debut at the 2010 Greer Memorial Hospital Freedom Blast.

The event is back for 2011 with a new route on July 2 and a bicycle decorating contest on Friday, July 1 that will allow children in the Upstate to display their patriotic pride!

Children ages 6-12 are invited to bring their bicycles and running shoes to the Greer Memorial Hospital campus on July 2 for this fun-filled duathlon.  Two age groups (6-9 and 10-12) will take to the course for a ride/run combo. All registrants will receive a complimentary water bottle and a medal for finishing the race.

Registration is $5 per participant and may be completed online or at the Greer Memorial Hospital Campus (830 S. Buncombe Rd.) from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, July 1.  Participants may also register prior to the Ride and Run on July 2.

And don’t forget about the Bicycle Decorating Contest. Participants are encouraged to show their patriotic spirit by decorating their cycles for the event. Bring your bike to the Greer Memorial Hospital Campus at 6:15 p.m. on Friday, July 1 for the official judging. Winners will be announced at the end of the race on Saturday.
