Experience Hilton Head Island's beauty and hospitality while enjoying award-winning cycling on Sunday, May 7th. Start and finish at Lowcountry Celebration Park, cool down with post-ride refreshments, food, and entertainment, then relax at popular Coligny Beach or shop at the Plaza after the ride.
In its 16th year, Pedal Hilton Head Island has become a cornerstone event for the Boys & Girls Club. Your participation supports the commitment to keep kids on the path to academic success.
Rides for every level of cyclist give you a chance to see Hilton Head Island, a Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community, through a two-wheeled lens, featuring some of the best vistas and communities on the Island. Choose from road routes of 62 (two pace groups) and 40 miles, combination road and pathway routes of 30 and 20 miles, a pathway route of 10 miles, and a 2-mile Family Fun ride on the beach for kids and families. Participants and their families are invited to a festive & FREE cookout the afternoon before the ride at the Boys & Girls Club. Register NOW!
