Roanoke Star Cycling is a 501(c )(3) community-based, volunteer run team with a mission to promote high quality instruction to youth cycling at a competitive and non-competitive level. Our mission is to teach the importance of teamwork, community, goal-setting, and fostering a healthy lifestyle in a supportive, fun, and safe environment. We believe cycling has the power to strengthen minds and bodies while promoting a sense of community and belonging.
Roanoke Star Cycling is dedicated to fostering a community of riders who not only excel in the sport of cycling but also grow into confident, resilient and responsible citizens. We envision a future where our team members, driven by their shared love for cycling, inspire positive change, engage in the community, embrace healthy lifestyles, and develop lifelong values of teamwork, determination, and respect. With unwavering commitment to their growth and well-being, we aim to be the catalyst for the next generation of champions both on and off the bike.
We have ambitious goals to grow our organization to reach more children and add additional cycling disciplines. Currently we are 100% volunteer led and the growth we are striving for will require a paid Executive Director position as well as funds to cover equipment and entry fees for youth from underserved parts of our community. We don't want money to be a barrier for children who want to enjoy the sport of cycling and reap the benefits of recreating outdoors.
Roanoke Star Cycling is proud to be supported by an incredible group of local businesses and community partners who believe in our mission to develop confident, resilient, and healthy young athletes through mountain biking. Their generosity helps make our programs accessible, keeps our bikes rolling, and allows our student-athletes to learn valuable life skills on and off the trail.
We are deeply grateful for their continued commitment to our riders, families, and volunteer coaches. When you support these sponsors, you are directly investing in youth development and the future of cycling in our region. Please take a moment to learn more about them—and whenever possible, support the businesses that support Roanoke Star Cycling.
Our development team is looking for corporations, foundations and community partners who share our vision to help us grow our impact by underwriting our work to support the youth of our community.
We have new sponsorship information available here.
