Columbia Ride

Columbia's Gateway Business Park is home to the Booty Loop and August 28-29 it will come alive as the home of 24 Hours of Booty. 24 Hours of Booty Columbia will celebrate its third year and host 800 + riders who will raise more than $250,000 for cancer research and survivorship. 

The Booty Loop in Columbia is a 2.1 mile loop. The Loop has a mixture of hills and flats that will challenge riders over the 24 hours.  Cheer stations and bands will be set up along the course to encourage the riders while riding.

At the center of it all is Bootyville, hosted by Merkle, Inc.. Bootyville becomes its own little city and also serves as the event headquarters over the 24 hours.  Riders set up campsites and canopies that they can sleep, or more importantly, rest and relax with friends off of the bike.  The food tent is probably the most popular place outside of the course itself.  Along with the three squares riders will recieve they will have access to snacks, energy bars, water and sports drinks.  Bootyville also is the site of our expo area where our corporate sponsors set up shop and offer a range of services including 24 hour bike support, raffles for special items and information about their services.  Because of of the Booty Loop's central location and Columbia's close-knit community, you will find family and friends out supporting the riders at all hours. 

Along with our national beneficiary, The Lance Armstrong Foundation, 24 Hours of Booty supports the Ulman Cancer Fund.  You can find more information about our beneficiaries in the Learn More section. The organizations are having a tremendous impact on our neighbors battling cancer, and we are proud to be able to support their efforts.

We hope you will join us in Columbia.  Whether you ride, volunteer, donate or come out to cheer, we hope to see you at the Gateway Business Park!
