Organizational Mission

BikeWalk Morristown, TN — the organization — was founded to support those who like to bike, e-Bike, walk, run, etc. and want to share their active lifestyle with others. The 1000 Mile BikeWalk for Prevention — the event — will raise funds for the Hamblen County Substance Abuse Coalition, because research has shown that when people, especially teens, immerse themselves in activities they truly enjoy, there is less tendency to turn to dangerous substances. That’s why the Coalition is involved.
