1. Do I have to fundraise in order to participate?
Yes. This year all riders are asked to pay a $50 registration fee and complete $100 in fundraising, for a total of $150. Fundraising tools have been posted on the web site to help you in making this an easy process. Our collective efforts will make a tremendous impact on cancer care right here in Greenville County and beyond.
2. Do you have any information on ways I can fundraise?
Yes. Refer to Fundraisers' Tool Kit under Rider Resources for great ideas for fundraising. Sample letters, ways to engage your workplace and using social media are all included.
3. Can I see how my fundraising is going?
Yes. You can review your rider profile at any time. The rider profile allows you to check your fundraising efforts and see who has donated to your campaign. You can also update your fundraising level, or change from an individual to a team participant by logging in to your profile.
4. What is the benefit of registering today?
Knowing of your intention to ride helps our planning and coordination efforts to be maximized. Many details have to be considered allowing for more accurate counts of supplies to support the ride, as well as correct sizing and prizes available for you.
5. Where is Packet Pick up?
Lunch and Packet Pick-up will be at Carolina Ale House on Sunday, May 27th from 5-8p. You may also pick up a packet for another registered rider if needed. All riders will receive an email the week before the ride welcoming you to Greenville, and restating all the details of the weekend. We look forward to having you join us!
Monday morning registration will close at 7:15 a.m. before the mass start.
6. How do I log into my rider profile?
Using the link on the website under Rider Resources, click on Manage My Profile. You will be asked for the user name and password assigned to you when you registered. These are automatically generated based on your email address and phone number.
USERNAME is your email address
PASSWORD is the last four digits of your telephone number given at registration.
7. For sponsors who are not comfortable using on-line methods, how do I send in my donations?
Once you have collected funds from your sponsors, they can be mailed directly to us. Please use our donation form found on the website so that we can apply the donations to your rider name. The address for mailing is on Individual Sponsorship Mail In form on the web site.
You can mail donations to us as many times as you need to. You don't wait until you've collected all your funds. In fact, getting them to us as you collect them will allow us to keep up with the data entry in order to award top fundraiser prizes.
You can also turn in donations at packet pick up and at registration on Monday morning.
REMEMBER: Only donations received by 5:00 p.m. on May 25 can be considered when awarding the top fundraiser prizes.
8. I have collected more donations than originally planned. Can I change my commitment level?
Yes, through your rider profile. Once logged in, select your new commitment level and be sure to click "Update" at the bottom of the screen.
9. Can I change from an individual to a team?
Yes, you can do this in your rider profile. Once logged in, choose the radio button for TEAM then use the drop down menu to find your team name. Be sure to click "Update" at the bottom of the screen.
10. Is it too late to form a team?
No. You can form a team at any time until online registration closes. We encourage you to form a team and enter our Team Challenge for the Stars and Stripes Challenge!

The mass start is at 7:30 a.m. The start finish line is at the corner of Broad and Main in Downtown Greenville, SC.
12. What if I fundraise but I don't want to ride?
You can be a Virtual Rider! Even though you do not wish to participate on ride day your fundraising efforts will afford you the same incentives as those who do.
13. Where do I check in the day of the event?
Volunteers should check in at the Volunteer Check-In booth location in Downtown Greenville, SC. Riders who have been to Packet Pick up should be all set to come and report to the staging area for the Ride.
