GRiT
Race 1: Moco Madness at Schaeffer Farm
The Maryland GRiT committee has created a variety of activities and challenges that students can participate in throughout the race weekend. All riders are encouraged to invite friends to attend any GRiT event. We have loaner bikes and helmets for anyone who wishes to try it out!
For each event student athletes attend, they will earn a raffle ticket. At the final race of the season, raffles will be drawn and prizes awarded!
