Fast Fitty Gravel Road Race

Join us for Miles That Matter on Saturday, May 16, an outdoor community fundraiser in downtown Leslie supporting local athletes with special needs, hosted by BOSS Cider and CrossFit AFK.

This event brings our community together to move with purpose and raise money that helps provide funding for competitions, jerseys, and life-changing opportunities for students with special needs in Ingham county.

Participants can choose how they want to make their miles count:

• 🚣 Row-A-Thon – Grab nine friends and work together to row a marathon.

• 🚴 Bike a Metric Century – Take on the challenge of riding 60 miles as a team. Riders will work together to reach the century mark while supporting an incredible cause.

• 🚶Pay-As-You-Go Walk (or run!) – Want a more casual way to participate? Join the community walk and donate to walk laps around the block surrounding BOSS Cider. Walk as many laps as you’d like—every lap helps raise funds and awareness.

We will have two heats for the Row-A-Thon and Bike a Metric Century events.

HEAT 1: 10AM-1:30PM

HEAT 2: 2PM-5:30PM

Whether you're chasing an endurance goal, supporting a loved one, or simply showing up for a great cause, every mile and every dollar raised helps create more opportunities for athletes to compete, grow, and thrive.

Bring your friends, family, and teammates and help us prove that every mile truly matters.
