LOWVELO26
About this race
LOWVELO is an annual fundraising event that rallies the community for one great cause – funding lifesaving cancer research at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in South Carolina. Our goal is to eradicate cancer by supporting research at Hollings that investigates new treatments and promising approaches to finding cures. 100% of every participant-raised dollar from this grassroots event goes directly to cancer research.
Participation is open to all ages for the 7- and 14-mile rides, age 13 and up for the Spin® classes, age 14 and up for the 23- and 50-mile rides and age 16 and up for the 80-mile ride. Each rider commits to the cause by fundraising at least a minimum amount based on their chosen distance.
Together, we can change what’s possible in cancer care. We thank you for your support!
