TNT All-Star Race Supporting 24 Foundation
DETAILS VERY SOON!
Bike Race Nerd Alert! Let’s talk old times. Back in the 90s when a group of racers would do hard rides and races and then look for a recovery location.
Boy did we find it! We started using the “Booty Loop” and it’s 3 mile circumnavigation around Queens College (University). Spencer had a bright idea to raise cancer awareness and ride for 24 hours straight. This year will be the 25th!!!!! This year, the TNT All-Star Race & Challenge is proud to support 24 Foundation and its mission to make an immediate impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. Founded by cyclists and built on the power of community, 24 Foundation invests in cancer navigation and survivorship programs that help patients and families navigate the challenges of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Since 2002, the organization has raised more than $31 million to support individuals and families facing cancer. By participating in the TNT All-Star Race & Challenge, you're doing more than competing on the bike—you’re helping raise awareness for a cause that touches countless lives throughout our cycling community. Together, we celebrate the spirit of competition, perseverance, and service while supporting those who are fighting cancer and the programs that help them thrive. Ride Fast. Give Back. Make an Impact. For more information about 24 Foundation, visit 24 Foundation.
