the Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition: invites you to our 5th Mattapan On Wheels event and celebration! This event started with the purpose to raise awareness about bike-ability in Mattapan, to bring the community together for fun, and to get them exercising! Last year, 60+ participants showed up and took part in one of the two biking groups: Family Ride and Expert Ride. We rode the trails of American Legion Highway, explored the Boston Nature Center, and enjoyed the scenic atmosphere. This year participants will be riding 2 new routes full of entertainment and enjoyment with each mile you ride.

additions to the 2015 Bike-a-Thon
Have kids that are too small to participate in Mattapan On Wheels? Then have them participate in biking activities that will be held at the Walker Playground. Kids can ride the trail that is in the park or take part in a few fitness activities taliored for them and other ages.

Fundraising
Each Mattapan on Wheels Event gets bigger with each passing year. With more participants biking in this awesome bike ride the more funds it takes to run the program. Help MFFC reach our goal of raising $2,000 to help offset the cost of the event for 2016. What do you have to do you may ask? We are asking for a donation of $5. Don’t have the funds, no problem, you can still participate!
