Event Description

It’s not just a ride, it’s a movement for the safety of all on the streets of California.  A toast to all we have accomplished together in 2015 and a resolve to make good choices in 2016!

Finish The Ride started after bicyclist Damian Kevitt was dragged nearly a quarter mile under a car. It was a gross hit and run crime which has become a common occurrance in California.  Having barely survived, he vowed to get back on a bicycle and FINISH THE RIDE -- not just for himself but to help make the streets of California safe for ALL. 

Now the event is not just about Damian's triumph over tragedy but about finishing for the nearly 7,500 other people in LA who have been severly injured in hit and run crimes.  By participating, you are helping Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) raise awareness and handle the epidemic of hit and run crimes, thereby making the streets safer for you, me and everyone else.

Check out FinishTheRide.org for videos and information about the amazing beginnings of the movement. 

The event includes:

  • Ride = 25 Mile Finish The Ride & Metric Century TOUR DE VALLEY (including a climb up La Tuna Canyon Road)
  • Run = 5K, 10K or Half Marathon around beautiful Sepulveda Basin and Lake Balboa. 
  • Walk and Roll = 2K. A fun, family friendly interactive walk and roll around beautiful Lake Balboa.
  • Roll = 10K Roll On! (wheelchairs, handcycles, skateboards, roller skates, etc...)
  • Cool goodie bag and free t-shirt with registration
  • Timing chips and medals awarded for selected events
  • Great live music and dancing
  • Free festival and safety expo with giveaways, raffles, prizes and activities for the kids.  Feel free to bring the whole family!

 

Join Finish The Ride, Run, Walk N' Roll Across The Valley not only for yourself, but for those who survived, those who didn't and the safety of ALL!
