Cyclists, Runners invited to participate in Pioneer Ride & Run to benefit student scholars

In the spirit of fitness and fun, Malone University invites the greater community to participate in the 2017 Pioneer Ride & Run, a fundraiser to benefit scholarships for Malone students. The event will take place on Saturday morning, September 16.

The event provides options for runners and cyclists, those with experience or those who enjoy family recreation outdoors, by offering a variety of distances and routes. 

President David King will lead a ‘metric century’ ride: 100 kilometers (approximately 62 miles), which begins and ends on Malone’s campus, looping through Stark and Wayne County.

A shorter route for relaxed cyclists or families will begin on the Stark Parks trail, Pioneer Trail (originating on Malone’s campus), looping to Veteran’s Park in Plain Township and back to campus.

Runners and walkers can participate in a 5K, formerly the Malone 5K/Pump & Run, on the grounds of Malone University.

The cycling options are not timed, but the 5K is.

A Kids’ Adventure Run and other family-friendly activities will also be available on that day.

Start times, donation information, and sign up instructions are available at www.malone.edu/rideandrun.
