Team Booger

Teaching Kids Leadership Guidance: We taught the kids leadership guidance and general awareness of their impact on the world through three major events throughout the year along with some smaller things at races. At the Carry5 Booger event we taught kids the fact that many individuals carry five gallon jugs to and from their communities because of lack of water infrastructure. We taught them how they can be leaders in their community in teaching, understanding, and raising funds. This was reiterated at the Ride for Water event and then in August we have Booger camp that teaches skills around understanding, giving back, and philanthropy. We gave leadership talks about philanthropy and how they can make an impact.

Race and Training Support: The team provides race and training support throughout the year. We actively race and are at events with a tent, staff, and equipment to support our riders. We are at around fifty races a year. This is done via the Booger Fund van, tents, tools and supplies.

Health and Nutrition Education: We actively teach the kids good eating and nutrition habits throughout the year along with two major events. One is a zoom call where we walk them through proper fueling and hydration for riding. We also teach them about the balance of carbs and proteins. At Booger Camp we do an additional clinic around electrolytes and proper pre- and post-race fueling. This was taught by a board member.
