Something Special for Everyone
 |
Worship in the Heartland The Heartland Riders
Association is a very family oriented organization. Every
year at the Run to the Heartland, they have special
events to enforce this. Worship in the Heartland brought to you by LJ Ministries, Inc. is a
Sunday Service held for the event on Sunday mornings.
Riders from all over are invited to participate. This show of faith helps ground us all, and reminds us there is always something more to reach for.
|
Blessing of the Bikes LJ Ministries, Inc., in association with the Heartland Riders Association, also have the Blessing of the Bikes for those
who would like it. Regardless of your religious beliefs,
it never hurts to have some extra help in your corner.
Especially when you are riding down the highway, in the
rain, during rush hour. This is not just a little token
medal on your mirror or sunvisor. This service blesses
the bike itself, to guide its rider on safer journeys,
reminding them someone is always watching overhead. |
 |
 |
the Kids Zone by LJ Ministries, Inc.
Fun times for the younger crowd at the Kids
Zone, hosted at the Sebring Middle School. This is a great place, with qualified friends and loved
ones, to watch over the children that visit the Run to the Heartland. Kids of all
ages are welcome to join in on the fun. This helps make the
event a great experience for everyone. |

The Heartland Riders Association
 |
The Heartland Riders
Association Inc. began in June 2003. Several local
motorcycle enthusiasts got together, after attending the
April 2003 Leesburg Bike Fest. It was decided that
Highlands County would be the perfect place to have a
motorcycle event with games, music, food and fun. The
Heartland Riders Association was born. Ever since they have
been working hard, along with others who have joined the
Association, to plan the three-day event now known as the
Run to the Heartland. It is held yearly in Historic
Downtown Sebring. The Heartland Riders Association now
has over 350 members who all endorse our "Run to the
Heartland" event. |
