The Little Hammies race at Lakeshore Foundation on Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. focuses on inclusion for all. With the event also taking place on the day of the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games, the event will have a very cool vibe and will bring to the forefront the one of a kind Lakeshore facility that many people may not even know about that is right here in our backyard.
The Little Hammies Lakeshore event will have a great message from a Paralympian that will speak to the values that sport can instill in us such as Perseverance, Teamwork and Commitment that will live with us forever. The event will also have tours of the recently opened Sports Science and Performance Center, so those attending can get an idea for how Olympians and Paralympians train, eat and recover. Lastly, people can enjoy some yummy food and ice cream as there will be local food truck vendors.
The event will begin at 5pm with the SSPC tours, bike skills clinics and free riding of the course. At 6 p.m. the kids bike race will begin with separate age category races for both boys and girls. All types of bike, handcycles, trikes, balance bikes etc are welcome, and all kids will ride within their own age group category. If there is a lot of interest from those in the adaptive community that are older than the age 12, an adaptive category may be added to account all of these individuals so that all from Lakeshore are able to ride.
