BIKE 4 ALL
The Monroe County YMCA was thrilled to host Bike 4 All, a fun, non-competitive community bike/run/walk! This two-mile course around Switchyard Park and the B-Line Trail also featured live music, health and wellness booths, games and activities for all ages, and free helmets for kids and was FREE for kids to attend!
Bike 4 All has its roots from Bike 4 the Kids, an event held the past three years in memory of the late Dr. John Wrasse, who practiced pediatrics at Riley Physicians in Bloomington, Indiana before his sudden passing from heart disease in 2021. Proceeds from Bike 4 All will benefit our Y for All Scholarship Fund, which gives individuals and families experiencing financial hardships access to the programs and services at the Y regardless of age, income, or background.
We are thankful for all who joined us for the first annual Bike 4 All on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at Switchyard Park outdoor stage. Whether you are cycling, walking, or running with us, all are welcome to enjoy the Bloomington trails, live music, activities, and free youth helmets.

The top three fundraisers will be recognized at the Bike 4 All event and win fabulous prizes!
