New for 2010
We’ve made it easier for elementary and middle school coordinators to submit results online and manage their school’s Walk + Bike account through our website, www.walknbike.org.
The event kicks off May 1, ends May 31, and culminates with a special Walk + Bike to Baseball celebration event at PGE Park in Portland on June 11. Event participants and winners will be recognized on field, and the overall winner will throw out the first pitch of the Beavers baseball game.
