Riverside Ride & KIDZFest Annual Awareness and Fundraising Campaign
Every year we raise funds and awareness for organizations that serve children well.
For over 15 years, KCOV has hosted the Texas cyclist community as a Training Ride with 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60-mile routes. The route is timing-optional guided through Victoria County and historic Goliad County.
No matter if you’re a recreational, novice, or pro cyclist, there’s a route designed with YOU in mind!
Long (Training) Rides (Start Time @ 8am) ◦ 20-mile ◦ 30-mile ◦ 40-mile ◦ 50-mile ◦ 60-mile All routes are SAG-supported safety and refreshment stops with port-o-lets, water, refreshments and assist with communication throughout the routes. Explore Victoria starting at beautiful Riverside Park, through Historic Downtown Victoria through hills and straightaways of Victoria County. For those on the 50- or 60-mile routes, you will cross the top of the Coleto Reservoir Dam and experience the "rolling hills" through the Guadalupe River river-bottom near the historic ruins of the Mission Espiritu Santo.
Short Ride (Start Time @ 9am)- Family 10K - families and non-competitive riders - built with the kids and joyriders in mind - Fun learning and nature stops throughout the park to see the butterflies at the Hiller House, hoop-it-up at the Children’s Park, the newly renovated Duck Pond, Bark Park, Texas Zoo, and the Pumphouse!!
At the Finish Line, participants can grab lunch and listen to live music and dance performances while their families join community members in a fun-filled, KIDZFest. Stick around to find out if you are a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place finisher!
KIDZFest is on the 4th Saturday of March every year after the Family 10k. We invite our community to enjoy a fun, free event in the beautiful Riverside Park from 10am to 2pm with LIVE music, food trucks, and lots of outdoor fun!

Sponsored Programs
Kiwanis Club of Victoria, TX is always looking for clubs to sponsor. Our sponsored servant leadership clubs independently initiate service projects and community service activities throughout the school year. Our club works through an advisor in each youth organization to coordinate our participation with their activities or to have them work with us on major service programs and fundraisers.
If you or your school is interested in starting a club, we would be happy to guide you through the process. Email us at kiwanisclubofvictoria@gmail.com.
At the elementary level, K-Kids get started with the purpose of developing leadership through service to the school and community. For middle school level, Builders Clubs continue the mission as a steppingstone into the next level of Key Clubs at the high school level. Currently, we have a K-Kids club at Rowland Elementary School and Crain Bilingual Elementary School. The STEM Academy Middle School currently has a Builders Club.
We launch throughout the school year. There is no time constraint on the time when a club launches. The potential for impact when starting the club at each campus is limitless.
Join our mission...become a sponsor of an Elementary Level KKids, Jr. High Builders Club, High School Level Key Club, and a Circle K at the college level! Private schools are also welcome!
