Activities will start at 4 p.m. when the race track and paddock are open to all Scouts for obstacle course drills and short races for one hour. From 5-7 p.m. it is open track for all participants (Scouts, bike clubs and individuals).
Mazda Raceway’s always family friendly Twilight Cycling, presented by Rabobank evenings are open to all levels of cyclists and cost only $10 per rider. For this special evening however, it is only $5 for each Scout in uniform. Proceeds benefit Cub Scout Pack 13. Scouts can earn achievements, including their bicycling belt loop or pin, for their participation. Helmets are required and Monterey’s Light & Motion will be on hand to loan out their LED bike lights. Hot chocolate and coffee will be served.
“We’d love to have the Monterey Peninsula come out to support the local Cub Scouts,” says Gill Campbell, CEO/general manager, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “It is such a rewarding and important program for these boys, building their character and encouraging physical fitness.”
