This race is going to be “wheelie” good!

Join the Larks and Hollevoet & Welk Orthodontics for the FREE Summer Olympic Bike Ride in Bismarck-Mandan on Saturday, August 13, starting at 10 AM! Check-in starts at 9 AM at the south side of Kiwanis Park on Bowen Ave. across from the ballpark.

Every racer is guaranteed to get a medal and to have a good time along the route!

Participants can park in the parking lot for Bismarck Municipal Ballpark, but should be access the lot from Hanafin St. There is no access via Sweet Ave. before or during the race for the safety of the riders and for Kids Day at the BisMarket.

This is the 2nd annual Bike Ride in honor of Hunter Seifert, a courteous young man from Bismarck who lost his battle with cancer in 2019 but lived his life to the fullest each and every day. In his honor, Hollevoet and Welk Orthodontics has teamed up with the Larks in order to raise money that supports recreational activities, scholarships, and FUN experiences so EVERY child can live their life to the fullest like Hunter did.

This is a FREE event, but we do kindly ask for any at-will, cash donations during the event. All net proceeds raised will go to the Larks Community FUNd, which funds various sport, scholarship, and experience-based initiatives for youth in the Bismarck Mandan community.

To continue Hunter’s legacy, Hollevoet & Welk Orthodontics is excited to partner with the following businesses in our community to raise awareness and encourage families to prioritize their health.
