Registration is now open for the 25th year of 24 Hours of Booty, the signature non-competitive cycling and walking event hosted by 24 Foundation, which brings people together to move, celebrate and support those impacted by cancer.
This year’s 24 Hours of Booty presented by Levine Cancer Institute will take place from 7 p.m. Friday, July 24 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 25 on the “Booty Loop” in Charlotte’s Myers Park neighborhood.
“Twenty-five years is a powerful testament to what this community can do when we show up for one another to impact the lives of those affected by cancer,” said Katherine Murphy, executive director of 24 Foundation. “Together, we have built something truly special; an event rooted in hope, healing and connection. Whether you ride, stride, volunteer or support, you are helping us change the course of cancer for individuals and families right here in our community.”
All cycling and walking participants must register (individually or with a team) online at 24foundation.org. The following are the registration and fundraising requirements:
- Adult Riders/Walkers (ages 18+): Pay a $75 registration fee and raise a minimum of $500
- Youth Riders/Walkers (ages 12-17): Pay a $75 registration fee and raise a minimum of $200
- Child Riders (ages 8-11) and Walkers (ages 4-11): Pay a $50 registration fee and raise a minimum of $50
- Virtual “UnLooped” registration is $45 for adults and $25 for children (11 and under); no fundraising minimum
Registered in-person participants receive the following: online fundraising tools, access to templates and fundraising ideas, fundraising level incentives, an event T-shirt, full bike and medical support, entertainment, as well as meals, snacks and drinks throughout the event.
24 Hours of Booty is not a race or an endurance event, allowing participants to set their own mileage goals and take breaks as needed. Riders and walkers can get on and off the police-secured course as much as they would like throughout the 24 hours. Child riders (ages 8-11) are permitted on the course during the Survivor Lap (with a parent or guardian) and from 12-7 p.m. on Saturday, July 25.
Myers Park Traditional School and Queens University of Charlotte will again serve as home to the event headquarters – known as “Bootyville” – where participants camp, eat and recharge when not out on the course.
During the past 25 years, 24 Foundation event participants have raised more than $31 million to support local and national cancer navigation and survivorship programs and services. Local cancer beneficiaries, include Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute, Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, and several other organizations that are committed to helping those affected by cancer survive and thrive throughout their cancer journey and beyond.
