The Event
You’ve always ridden because it’s healthy for you. Now ride because it’s healthy for someone else. Ride with us at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, for Cyclists Curing Cancer Century Ride. The journey begins at the Baptist Healthplex in Clinton, Mississippi, and stretches all along the beautiful and historic Natchez Trace. Whether you choose to ride 25, 50, 62 or 100 miles, you will be benefiting Baptist Cancer Services’ Serenity Garden for cancer patients and their families.

All participants will receive a Century Ride t-shirt and will enjoy a pasta lunch after the event. Rest stops along the route will be well stocked with water, sports drinks, snacks and fruit.

Please note: All riders remaining on the course after 3:30 p.m. will be picked up.

The Serenity Garden
For cancer patients and their families, it would not be unusual to spend between six and eight hours a day at the Center for chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The Serenity Garden, located directly outside the Hederman Cancer Center, offers a private, secluded area where they can enjoy peace and quiet, fresh air and a place to “escape.” The Serenity Garden features winding pathways leading to a water display and an arbor where patients and their families can relax to the sounds of water trickling down a multilayered fountain.

This year’s riders also have the opportunity to ride in honor or in memory of someone who has battled cancer. For a $10 donation, your honoree’s name will be displayed on your biking jersey. For more information call 601.968.1248.
