Join us for the 2nd annual Bike the Arb event. This year we will host a 13.3k Road Race.
All proceeds from Bike the Arb support the general operating budget of the Arboretum. Thank you for your support!
Schedule of Events:
7:30-9:30 a.m. 13.3k Road Race
Participants will start at the stop sign at the beginning of Three-Mile Drive. They’ll take Three-Mile Drive to Eastern Drive, turn around in the Farm at the Arb parking lot and return to Three-Mile Drive via Eastern Drive. They’ll follow Three-Mile Drive back to the starting point of the race, and take a second lap on the same course. The finish line is at the same location as the starting point.
FAQS
