Oak Mountain BMX is hosting its second annual Buddy Hodge Race for MDA this month.
The charity race, a family-friendly event, is scheduled for April 5 at Oak Mountain State Park. Registration begins at 11 a.m. and the race will start at 2 p.m. The cost to participate is $10.
BMX, which stands for bicycle moto-cross, is a type of off-road bicycle racing. Riders range from as young as 3 to 70. With races taking place within age classifications, the sport is open to anyone.
The Oak Mountain BMX track is one of only four in the state, and volunteers run the entire organization. Races take place nearly year-round, from late February to December. If someone can ride a bike, they can race BMX.
