As our organization 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.
We hope you’ll join us as we aim to make this year’s event a monumental cycling experience for LIVESTRONG. Leaving from the north side of Palmer Events Center on Riverside Drive in downtown Austin, our goal is to have over 4,000 cyclists raise $2 million to support LIVESTRONG programs and services. Cyclists can choose from distances ranging from 20 – 100 miles, based on their experience and fitness level.
A $50 registration fee will apply for all riders. For those passionate about fighting cancer, we encourage you to fundraise and earn one-of-a-kind Team LIVESTRONG incentives while supporting LIVESTRONG programs and services. Keeping with the tradition of all Team LIVESTRONG Challenge events, we will be hosting a fantastic post-event party for riders and spectators complete with local food vendors, LIVESTRONG sponsors and an activity area for kids. Every cancer survivor who crosses the finish line that day will receive a yellow rose to celebrate their accomplishment. Staff and volunteers will be on-site all weekend to make sure you have the best experience possible.
This year there will not be a 5K run/walk associated with the Team LIVESTRONG Challenge weekend. As a way to engage with LIVESTRONG through a similar event we recommend the Paramount 5K option as part of the LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon in February. We will also continue to work with our community partners to identify other run/walk outlets for LIVESTRONG cancer fighters.
We look forward to seeing you in October.
