Help pick a new name for Get Fit Festus

We're considering a name change to reflect our mission to provide health and fitness opportunities for EVERYONE in the Festus, Crystal City, Herculaneum, and Pevely area. We like the idea of keeping "Get Fit" as part of the name, but we want YOUR feedback.

Spoketacular Halloween Bike Ride

Before you indulge in the sugary treats, put on your costume (and helmet), grab your bicycle, and treat yourself to a fun bike ride! 

Our next community ride is coming up on Sunday, October 30th at 2:00pm.  We'll meet at Bandstand #3 (AKA, the stage) in Sunset Park.  From there, our ride leaders will take the group on an easy-paced 10.5-mile ride through Festus and Crystal City.  A 5-mile route will also be available, and those with small children are welcome to ride in the park.

Spread the word to friends and family -- all are welcome!

*Great long-sleeve performance t-shirts (adult sizes only) for the first 40 riders*
