Last Day For Sign up to be Applicant-Boise GreenBike Race

For the past four years, the Boise GreenBike program has sponsored a “Celebrity GreenBike Race” as part of the annual Twilight Criterium in downtown Boise. While the race has had its share of celebrities, it has always been more about fun than famous people. So for the fifth year of the GreenBike race, organizers are changing the rules for participation with an eye to benefitting charities.
“We thought it might be fun to offer cash prizes to the winners of these races,” said Dave Fotsch, Director of Boise GreenBike. “So, with the help of Midas Gold, and Brown and Caldwell, we will award real money to the top three finishers in the men’s and women’s divisions. The catch is that they have to donate the money to the charity of their choice.”
First place in each division will earn $500, second place, $250 and third $150. Participation is open to anyone who fills out an online questionnaire https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/greenbikerace2019 . Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to field competitive riders. The application period closes at 5:00 p.m. Friday, July 5, 2019. Race participants will be selected by a committee who will judge the applications for originality and creativity. Each division will be limited to 15 racers. More information and a link to the online questionnaire is posted to the Boise GreenBike Facebook page.
