Join Us at a LIVESTRONG Event In 2012!

LIVESTRONG Challenge Davis - June 24, 2012 The Team LIVESTRONG Challenge will return to Davis, California for the second year in 2012. Fifteen hundred cyclists raised over $950,000 for LIVESTRONG in 2011. Join us in Central Park as we once again take to the streets of one of the most bike friendly cities in the U.S. Participants can ride distances ranging from 20–100 miles through the beautiful landscape of northern California. The LIVESTRONG partnership with the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame will make the weekend's experience a memorable one for any cycling fan. Join the team! LIVESTRONG Challenge Philly - August 18-19, 2012 The Team LIVESTRONG Challenge Philly will once again take to the streets of Blue Bell and the surrounding countryside for what has become one of LIVESTRONG’s most successful fundraising events. This family-friendly event at the Montgomery County Community College offers participation and volunteer options for everyone, regardless of experience. On Saturday, August 18, join us out on the 5K run/walk course or test your limits with the 10K course. If you prefer to spend your time on two wheels, register for the Sunday ride with distances ranging from 10-100 miles. The ride courses wind and dip through the rolling and scenic countryside.  And if you’d like to make a weekend out of it, sign up for both. Join the team! 24 Hours of Booty - August 25-26, 2012 Columbia's Gateway Business Park is home to the Booty Loop and August 25-26 it will come alive as the home of 24 Hours of Booty. 24 Hours of Booty Columbia will celebrate its fourth year and host more than 500 riders who will raise more than $250,000 for cancer research and survivorship. At the center of it all is Bootyville, our own little city, which also serves as the event headquarters over the 24 hours. Riders set up campsites and canopies that they can sleep, or more importantly, rest and relax with friends off of the bike. The food tent is probably the most popular place outside of the course itself. Along with the three squares riders will receive they will have access to snacks, energy bars, water and sports drinks. Bootyville also is the site of our expo area where our corporate sponsors set up shop and offer a range of services including 24-hour bike support, raffles for special items and information about their services. Contact us to start our Friends Fighting Cancer Team! LIVESTRONG Challenge Austin - October 21, 2012 As LIVESTRONG celebrates its 15th anniversary, the Team LIVESTRONG Challenge takes great pride in our history of cycling events. What started as a small ride called the Race for the Roses that Lance Armstrong began in 1997 has blossomed into a premiere fundraising event for LIVESTRONG. In 2011 participants raised over $2.5 million for LIVESTRONG to support cancer survivorship programs and initiatives. We hope you’ll join us as we aim to make this year’s event a monumental cycling experience for LIVESTRONG and for the city of Austin. Our goal is to have over 4,000 cyclists take on ride distances ranging from 15–100 miles. Choose your distance based on skill level and experience. Join the team!
