Additional Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

  • When registering online, please note that the term "race" is a generic term being used to include events that are not timed events or races.  The Polka Dot Jersey Challenge is a self-paced bike ride or walk and participants are encourged to enjoy the event at whatever pace they are comfortable with.  There will be technical support as well as sag wagon support on both bike rides so that participants have options if they choose not to complete the ride.
  • If donating online, please replace the $0.00 on the donation line with the amount you would like to donate (for example $25.00).  This method will allow us to track each donation separately from the individuals registering for the cycling and walking  events or picnic and gives the ability to capture the number of people who will be participating in the events on September 21.
