The 22nd annual 24 Hours of Booty through Myers Park is a cycling and walking fundraiser for cancer navigation and survivor programs.

You can support cancer navigation and survivors by riding or walking 24 Hours of Booty.

Registration is open for the 22nd annual 24 Hours of Booty charity cycling and walking event July 28-29 in the Myers Park neighborhood. Participants can sign up for the in-person or virtual “UnLooped” event. All riders and walkers can register individually or with a team at 24foundation.org.

The nonprofit 24 Foundation has raised more than $26 million to support cancer navigation and survivorship programs and services. Local beneficiaries include Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute and Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital and Queens University of Charlotte.

“Participating in 24 Hours of Booty as a participant, volunteer or sponsor is an incredible way to show up for our cancer community and change the course of cancer,” said Katherine Murphy, executive director of 24 Foundation. “We are excited to bring everyone together again this summer to ride, stride, and enjoy a celebration of hope, healing and connecting.”

This year’s 24 Hours of Booty presented by Levine Cancer Institute will start at 7 p.m. July 28 and end at 7 p.m. July 29. Registration and fundraising requirements are:

• Adult riders/walkers (18 and up) $75 registration fee and raise a minimum of $400;

Upon registration, in-person participants get online fundraising tools, access to templates and fundraising ideas, fundraising level incentives, a T-shirt, bike and medical support, and meals, snacks and drinks throughout the 24 hours.  

Riders and walkers set their own mileage goals and get on and off the police-secured course as much as they like throughout the 24 hours. Child riders from ages 8-11 are permitted on the course during the Survivor Lap with a parent or guardian and from 12-7 p.m. on July 29.  

Myers Park Traditional School and Queens University of Charlotte will be the event headquarters – known as “Bootyville” – where participants can camp, eat and rest when not out on the course.
