This year is the 30th anniversary of both KidSport and NSS! Let's make this our best bikeathon yet!!
The student athletes of NSS are excited to give back to other athletes, allowing financially disadvantaged students to train and compete. We invite you to take part on May 9, as a rider, donor, or event sponsor.
Thank you for your support!
Bikeathon FAQs:
- Do I need to ride for 12 hours? No, the 12 hours of biking is to be covered by your team of riders. You can decide who will ride, when they will ride, and for how long. The recommended team size is 6-8 but any number of riders is allowed.
- Do I need to be there for 12 hours? No, as long as someone is riding, you do not need to be there for the whole time.
- Where will we be riding? The bikes will be set up in CSI in WinSport.
- Will I miss classes? You might miss class while you are riding, but you will not miss all of your classes on May 10. When your team signs up for shifts, try to ride during your spare (if you have one). Teachers are aware that some students will be missing some classes on this day. The main office will have a list of who is riding, and will place an attendance note in Edsby.
- Who can sign up? Your team should be made up of students, teammates, family members, coaches, alumni, etc.
- What if I can’t find enough people to make a team? See Mrs Sceviour, and she can put you together with other students who are looking for teammates too.
- Why should I do this? We are very lucky to have the opportunity to take part in many different sports at a high level. Many young Calgarians do not have the money or equipment to play. This is our chance to give back to others!! And it will be fun!!
