The Move
The annual Spin-A-Thon event is changing gears for 2021. Our goal remains the same: to ride and move so that kids have access to sports and education.
The Ride and The Move are two elements of a week-long event taking place between February 14 – 20. On this page you will find an overview of participation details about The Move. If you are interested in another way to participate, check out The Ride, details can be found here.
On February 10th you will receive an email with your password to access The Move resources. The password is entered after you click on the red ‘Move Access’ button.
While you are waiting for the fun to start, here are a few things about The Move:
The Move has so many good things to do as you move with a purpose.
- Endless opportunities to move and be active
- Participation individually or with teams
- 7 days of friendly challenge
