"Safe Kids 500" on Wednesday, June 18, 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Loudon, NH
The fourth annual "Safe Kids 500" will be held on Wednesday, June 18, 2008. In 2007 we had good weather so about 500 people participated. Both the kids and the parents had a great time cycling on the track after their bikes passed a safety check by S&W Sports. Helmets are required, likewise helmets are available at the event and a helmet fitting service is provided by the Safe Kids Coalition and BWA-NH. For more information about this famous speedway, click here.
Here are the plans for the 2008 event:
Help us celebrate SAFE KIDS Week 2008 by participating in the "Safe Kids 500" at this famous race track.

SAFE KIDS Coalition and the New Hampshire Motor Speedway invite you to a one-of-a-kind
bike ride around the track in Loudon. Imagine…you will get to pedal your
bike on the same track that NASCAR drivers race around! All children must be
accompanied by an adult caregiver and all participants (kids and adults) must
wear a bike helmet. Bike safety checks and minor servicing will be performed
by S&W Sports of Concord. Bike helmets, educational materials, and healthy
snacks will be made available by Safe Kids of NH, Children's Hospital at Dartmouth
(CHAD), and the Bike-Walk Alliance of NH.
There is no cost for this event although donations to CHaD will be gratefully accepted. For more information and to let us know you are coming contact NH SAFE KIDS at 1-877-783-0432 or e-mail IPC@dartmouth.edu. Registration starts at 5:00 PM, rides and exhibits available 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
