KTM Ride 4 Kids this October
This year's KTM Ride4Kids will be held on Sunday 20th October at the Dandenong Motorcycle Club track in Wonthaggi, and will feature a full day of non-competitive riding where participants can ride in Motocross and Enduro events.
All sessions are an open practice format with no actual racing, so people of all ages and abilities can get involved. A pee-wee track is also available for first time riders. NOTE: The 2013 KTM Ride4Kids is on the same day as the Phillip Island MotoGP, so participants are advised to travel early to avoid traffic delays.
In addition to an entry fee to ride, participants are encouraged to raise money for Challenge by asking friends and family to sponsor them or make a donation. Riders can also set up an online fundraising page at http://www.everydayhero.com.au/event/ride4kids2013.
The highest fundraiser will win a 2014 KTM 85 SX valued at $6,995. Additionally, all riders who raise $300 or more will go in the draw to win a second 2014 KTM 85 SX! The top 10 highest fundraisers will also be rewarded with some fantastic prizes from event supporters Scott, Fox and O'Neal Racing.
Challenge CEO, David Rogers, said the emphasis of Ride4Kids is on having fun.
"The event is a great opportunity for riders to have a great day on a professional track while raising much-needed funds for children living with cancer," said David. "Those not riding can also enjoy some great trackside entertainment including a barbecue lunch and the chance to watch all the action of the 2013 Moto GP on the big screen, which is happening on the same day."
