One Incredible Ride
With A Purpose

At just 17 years old, FLYRS coach McKenna Marino completed the Colorado Trail Race, riding solo from Denver to Durango across some of Colorado’s most challenging terrain.

In doing so, McKenna became the youngest female rider to complete the Colorado Trail Race under race rules.

But for McKenna, this ride was about more than setting a record.

Riding So More
Girls Can Ride

McKenna created Miles That Matter to raise money for FLYRS and help make mountain biking accessible to more girls, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Her goal was to raise $3,000 through donations and pledges tied to every mile she completed.

She reached her goal — and rode every mile.

Those donations support FLYRS programs and help remove financial barriers that can keep young riders from experiencing the confidence, friendships, independence, and sense of adventure that come from being on a bike.
