Ride Weekend
LOWVELO25
LOWVELO will take place on Saturday, November 1. Riders have five routes to choose from. We also have a stationary ride option at our Isle of Palms finish line or the virtual Home Team option for those who want to log their miles on their own by riding, walking, running, or choosing another favorite exercise activity to reach their selected distance.
Join us for a fun-filled day on Isle of Palms to celebrate cancer survivors and honor the memories of lost loved ones. Let’s rally together to raise money for innovative and lifesaving cancer research at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center!
