Safe Routes to School
By starting with children and the trip to school, communities become safe places for everyone to walk and bike. By creating safe places for everyone, communities take a major step towards meeting the national goal of ending traffic deaths on roads.
At FoCo Fondo we couldn’t agree more with Safe Routes to School’s mission and we put our money where our mouth is by donating $5000 to Safe Routes to School every year. These funds are used primarily for after school bike clubs in the most needed areas of our community.
Safe Routes to School attends FoCo Fondo and helps shepherd the 12-mile Here for It Route. This route primarily focuses on the bike path system with a fun jaunt through the light crushed gravel of Riverbend Ponds.
Kids 12-and-under receive free entries to FoCo Fondo (with accompanying, paid adult) and teens are half-priced.
