UPDATE:

Håfa Adai Parents and Guardians of Guam’s Ko’ko’ Kids, Trench Kids and Strider Bike Race Participants:

Thank you for your continued support of the Ko’ko’ Kids event. We are writing to inform you that the 2020 event, which was scheduled for Sunday, March 22 has been postponed.

As you are aware, our island’s leaders have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation in our region and have asked that all Guam events be postponed in the best interest of our young participants, residents and volunteers. We will reach out again when we have a new date in place.

We encourage the entire island community to stay healthy and strong by practicing good hygiene and to treat others with the Håfa Adai Island Spirit!

Thank you for your understanding,


Team Ko’ko’

Where’s the fun without a little friendly competition?!
Strider Racing Events are designed to provide just that. Our races offer a safe, fun, and slightly competitive atmosphere where children can show off their Strider skills in front of a cheering crowd supportive of all riders. Not only do these races put the abilities of young riders to the test, they introduce the competitive spirit to a new generation, which helps build confidence and lays the foundation for good sportsmanship.

This will be Guam's second Strider Race and we look forward to having your little ones be a part of it. There is no other, has never been a competitive event for 2 year olds too.

The event is in conjunction with GVB's 2nd Annual Ko'Ko' Kids Fest which will host so many activities for children in one day.

The Strider 12 race classes will be open to children 2-4 years old. The Strider 14x Sport race class will be open to children ages 3-6 years old. If your little tater tot is 3 or 4 years old, they’re more than welcome to race on their Strider 12 Bike, and then race again in the 14-inch class on their Strider 14x bike.

Strider Racing® was designed to let young children compete in a fun, family friendly, competitive atmosphere. Children of all sides and skill levels are encouraged to participate. In an effort to create a culture of good sportsmanship with these young riders, parents and other spectators are asked to follow the guidelines below to ensure the race remains friendly and supports ALL PARTICIPANTS.

1.Healthy competition means keeping the race fun. Kids would rather have fun than just focus on winning.
2.Healthy competition means doing your best and learning that sometimes doing your best puts you on the podium, and sometimes it doesn’t. That’s OK.
3.Healthy competition means being supportive of others. Encourage interaction! It’s OK to make friends with other competitors and even congratulate the winner. No one likes a sore loser.
4.Give positive, supportive encouragement only. (DO NOT use profanity and please avoid negative comments.)
5.Respect ALL riders, their parents, Strider race officials, and volunteers. No one is perfect, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t trying our best.
6.Remember, these are children. The race is for the kids — not for adults and their personal goals.

At Strider®, we love riding bikes and we love inspiring kids to ride.Because we are dealing with impressionable youth, any inappropriate or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Offenders will be asked to leave the event.
