The Bike MS: Texas MS 150 event is Saturday, May 1st and the finish line is in Aggieland.
For the first time, the bike event, which raises funds for the fight against multiple sclerosis, is finishing at Kyle Field.
Cole Geist, with Aggieland Outfitters, invites the community to a kickoff event on Friday afternoon.
“Sign up to volunteer. Learn more about the organization and the event. It is really an event to introduce new people and encourage people who have already signed up to race,” says Geist.
Geist says volunteers are still needed for race day.
“It’s whatever you’re comfortable with. You can be handing out water, you can be there for safety, you can also be there just to organize people and let them know where to go,” says Geist.
Geist says Friday’s come and go event is from 3 to 7 p.m. at their University Drive location.
