For the past two years our charity ‘Bikes for Kids’ has used proceeds from the annual Underpants Run, an event in which participants run a few kilometres in nothing but their underwear, to help rising triathletes and cyclists by presenting them with professional-quality bikes. Recipients are chosen based on passion, talent and financial need.
Bikes for Kids sells sponsored under pants and takes donations at this once a year, fun for the whole family event, to raise money to give these kids new bikes.
This year two Calgary Olympic Oval cyclists were presented with top of the line Specialized, Allez bikes as part of an initiative aimed at helping promising young Canadian athletes obtain the sporting equipment they can’t afford.
Bikes for kids would like to thank all our sponsors Peach City Runners & Nordic Ski in Penticton, BC, Real Rides in Calgary, Alberta, Multisports.com in San Diago, California TCR Sports Lab in Calgary, Alberta, Ironfuel.com and specially Barry Ma from Specialized and the always great staff at Bow Cycle and Sports in Calgary, Alberta
If you are participating at Ironman Canada this year or just spectating, please join us Friday August 28 2009 8:00 am for the annual Under Pants Run. All are welcome.
It’s a lot of fun and a great cause.
See you there.
