Event Overview

The Family Fun Ride is a signature community event designed to get residents of all ages and skill levels out on their bicycles. Held at various parks and trailheads throughout Carmel, this event features a leisurely, police-escorted ride through our scenic neighborhoods and world-class bike paths.

Before and after the ride, the event hub buzzes with activity, including bike safety checks, refreshments, and family-friendly entertainment. It’s a low-pressure, high-energy environment dedicated to celebrating Carmel’s status as a bicycle-friendly community.

Volunteer Roles Include:

  • Registration & Check-in: Greeting families and distributing participation packets.

  • Course Marshals: Cheering on riders and providing directional guidance at key turns.

  • Safety Team: Assisting with helmet fittings and basic bike inspections.

  • Hydration Stations: Handing out water and snacks to keep our riders fueled.

Your Impact

By volunteering for the Family Fun Ride, you are doing more than just handing out water; you are a vital gear in the machine that keeps Carmel moving.

  • Promoting Safety: Your presence ensures that children and first-time riders feel secure and supported as they learn the "rules of the road."

  • Building Community: You help create a welcoming space where neighbors can connect and families can make lasting memories.

  • Supporting Sustainability: Every person you encourage to ride a bike is a person discovering a green, healthy alternative to driving, helping Carmel remain one of the most livable cities in the country.
