Ride Weekend
LOWVELO26
LOWVELO will take place on Saturday, November 7. 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!

Parking Instructions:
Parking will be available on a first come, first served basis. Riders starting on Isle of Palms will have available parking at the Isle of Palms County Park parking lot off of 14th Ave.
NEW THIS YEAR: For riders starting at Brittlebank Park, our usual Hagood lot is not available, so we’re strongly encouraging riders to consider other options.
The first option is to ride your bike to the start line from another location downtown. There will be a bag check at Brittlebank Park where you can leave any items you don’t want to take with you for the ride.
You can also use a rideshare or get dropped off at the designated zone near the park.
Riding your bike or getting dropped off will be the two easiest, smoothest ways to arrive on time.
If you do plan to drive, please know that parking will be limited. We’ve reserved three nearby lots you can use, all shown on the map below.
If you choose the gravel lot, we recommend wearing alternate shoes and checking them at Bag Check before you roll out.
Once our reserved lots are full, downtown street parking will be the next best option.
All parking lots and the LOWVELO venue at Brittlebank Park will be open at 6 a.m. With the Citadel Homecoming game happening the same day, traffic will be heavy. So, please plan to arrive at least one hour before the 7:45 a.m. start to allow time to park, walk to the venue and get settled at the Start Line.
Shuttle Instructions:
LOWVELO will have rotating shuttles that will run every 30 minutes between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., departing from Isle of Palms (look for MUSC shuttles) at the Finish Line Festival and returning you to Brittlebank Park. Shuttles are for transport of people only. Bikes will be transported separately, but at the same time.
Because of the CItadel Homecoming game, there will be traffic getting back and getting out of the lots. So please, pack your patience!
Finish Line Block Party
Saturday, November 7
Isle of Palms Finish Line
Our Finish Line Block Party on Isle of Palms will have live music, fun photo opps, catering, local vendors and much more fun for everyone to enjoy. You can expect to cross the finish line on Ocean Blvd into a family-friendly block party! Several beer options and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.
Guest Information: Participants may invite family and friends to the Finish Line Block Party. Guest tickets will be on sale at the Firefly Packet Pick-Up Party and on Isle of Palms and will include catering, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Guests will receive a wristband which must be worn to enter the Finish Line Block Party.
