"This is a day of family fun for everyone," said Dana Myers, director of charitable giving for Brittany's Hope, describing Biking for Brittany and the Walk of Love. The joint event will be held on Sunday, Sept. 10, at Star Barn Village, 1 Hollinger Lane, Elizabethtown.

The bike ride will feature a 31-mile course and a 62-mile course and will have a rolling start between 7 and 9 a.m. "For the cyclist in your group, we have Biking for Brittany - a metric century and metric half-century bike ride - which are simply beautiful routes, right along the Northwest River Trail," Myers shared. "We have wonderful volunteers from KW Realty and Elizabethtown College who are handling all the rest stops and plenty of volunteer professional bike mechanics." All types of bikes are welcome for the ride, from e-bikes to race bikes.

Registration and check-in for the Walk of Love will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon, with festivities running until 3 p.m. "The Walk of Love is a day of fun to celebrate children and adoption, with live music from Steven Courtney and the Suitcase Musicians, games, face painting and, of course, a Kids' Fun Run and Mile Walk."

In addition to the in-person ride and walk, Brittany's Hope will offer a virtual event for families, service groups or people who cannot participate on Sept. 10 but still want to support the organization.

Proceeds from Biking for Brittany and the Walk of Love will raise funds to support the mission of Brittany's Hope, aiding orphaned and at-risk children worldwide.

Participants will have the option to bring a picnic lunch or purchase refreshments from food trucks on-site, and self-guided tours of the Star Barn property will be available.

"If you're looking for an opportunity to see the property and enjoy a picnic lunch, here's your chance," Myers stated. "In addition to the fun you'll be having, you'll be supporting orphaned and at-risk children and helping to unite children with families who have the heart to adopt a child with special needs."
