Pedal for Prevention participation window now open

Calling all cyclists, walkers, and runners to a socially distanced fitness event!

Anytime before August 13, select one or more of four specific local trails located in the Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester and Stockbridge communities. Bike/walk/run the trail, record it, and win!

Registration is $30 and includes a t-shirt and medal. The registration deadline is August 13. Once you’ve registered, submit a photo of yourself on a trail to info@srslymanchester.org to be entered into a prize drawing. You’ll also receive instructions on where to pick up your t-shirt and medal.

This event encourages healthy outdoor activity and helps raise funds to support SRSLY, your local youth substance prevention coalition with a presence in the Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester, and Stockbridge communities.

Register here and Manchester area registrants can choose to hike or bike the Sharon Mills County Park, which is a 3.8 mile hike and mountain bike trail. A trail map and directions can be found here.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
