2024 DAV Ride (Disabled American Veterans)

Event date: 
Sat, 11/09/2024 - 6:30am

Powder Keg, LET’S Get ready to RIDE!
Registration for the 2024 DAV 5K is officially open!

Description: Weather Pending: Saturday, November 9th, We will begin the day by staging at the Shell station located right off I-71/Fields Ertel-Mason Montgomery exit at 9791 S, Mason Montgomery Rd, Mason, OH 45040 at 6:30am and then leave at 7am for a short ride down to the DAV 5k Run located in downtown Cincinnati. We’ve done this in the past and it’s a great feeling to join up with other bikers from around the tri-state and lead the walkers and runners as the take-off on the 5K. We roll thru the DAV route and park at the end of it and cheer on the attendees. Afterwards, we’ll join others for lunch at one of the local restaurants that the DAV committee has partnered with to have lunch. On a sidenote: In years past, it’s been very cold. You will have to dress accordingly!

Race Day Motorcycle Ride Information will be provided during the morning ride briefing.

Road Conditions:  Good

Costs:  Information on costs will be on the DAV registration link below
