24 Hours of Booty — an annual event that’s just so Charlotte — will be available for both in-person and virtual participants again in 2022.

Registration is now open for the July 29 ride. The 24 Foundation fundraiser for local cancer charities isn’t a race or an endurance event. Rather, bike riders (and walkers) can set their own mileage goals and take breaks from the course as much as they would like over the 24 hours.

In-person riders can set up a tent in “Bootyville” to take a break from making laps around the Myers Park Booty Loop in a festive environment. Activities for in-person participants include access to catered meals, snacks and drinks in a food tent, including a midnight pizza party, and family-friendly entertainment. Bike support is available the entire 24 hours, as is medical support.

Both in-person and virtual participants will receive a T-shirt.

24 Hours of Booty details

WHEN: July 29, 7 p.m. to July 30, 7 p.m.

HOW TO REGISTER: You can register to participate in person or virtually, with multiple options and price points. Fundraising is encouraged but isn’t mandatory.

COST: Prices start at $25 for virtual participation for children under 11 and top out at $75 for an adult registration with a $400 fundraising commitment.

WHAT IT BENEFITS: The 24 Foundation raises money for patient navigation and wellness programs at Levine Cancer Institute, Levine Children’s Hospital and other beneficiaries. These programs include integrative oncology, acupuncture, healing touch, massage therapy, nurse navigators and more.
