SBC 20K River Race

The Sanford Bicycle Club is staging a free 20K trial race on the Riverwalk to test a potential future charity event. Participants gather at Dees Brothers Brewery and ride together to Veterans Memorial Park, which serves as the official start and finish. At the horn, the route heads west along the Riverwalk for 10 kilometers, turns around, and returns 10 kilometers to the park. After the finish, the group pedals back to Dees Brothers Brewery to celebrate. Entry is free and race bibs are provided. Medals are awarded to the top three finishers, with bragging rights included. The field is open to all skill levels, from fast riders to casual cyclists, with the option to race hard or enjoy a scenic ride along Lake Monroe.
