Registration for the 12th Annual 24 Hours of Booty presented by Levine Cancer Institute will kick off on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012 at 10:00AM (EST). All participants must register online at www.24hoursofbooty.org.

“With registration typically filling up within one day, we urge folks to sign up as soon as possible on December 4,” said Basil Lyberg, executive director of 24 Hours of Booty. “We are continually amazed and appreciative of the tremendous response we receive from the community and look forward to another successful registration kickoff.”

The annual charity non-competitive cycling event for all ages and cycling abilities is scheduled to roll on the “Booty Loop” in Charlotte’s Myers Park neighborhood from 7:00PM Friday, July 26 to 7:00PM Saturday, July 27, 2013. To safely accommodate riders on the 3-mile closed course, event registration will be capped at the first 1,200 registrants.

To participate in the Charlotte event, each rider is required to pay a $65 fee to register and raise a minimum of $400 prior to the ride. Forty-eight hours after registration closes out, 24 Hours of Booty will open its reboot program for the Charlotte event. Funds raised support the LIVESTRONG Foundation and local cancer charities.
