On Wednesday, May 7th, 2025, in celebration with the national Walk, Bike & Roll to School efforts, children, families, school officials, and community leaders across the U.S. will strap on helmets and roll or walk to school, highlighting the joys of active travel and the need for safety along those routes.
Join us on May 7th for Harrisonburg’s Bike & Roll to School Day, a fun and active way for students to get to school safely while building healthy habits! As part of Harrisonburg’s Safe Routes to School Program, we’re encouraging families and students to bike together, meet up with friends, and experience the joy of alternative ways to travel to school as a community.
All students, families, and staff are able to participate. Students are encouraged to join walking or biking groups with classmates, teachers, and families. School-specific events and safety tips will be shared ahead of time by the student's school. Parents and guardians can support their children by joining the ride or walk and ensuring that proper safety gear, including helmets, is worn. School and city staff will provide guidance on safety on the day of, and help organize walking and biking groups at participating Harrisonburg City Public Schools.
Stay tuned for how your school will participate in Bike & Roll to School Day or how you can join other Bike Month events in Harrisonburg!
