Cyclist Curing Cancer Century Ride to be held in Clinton on September 18.

The Cyclists Curing Cancer Century Ride takes place on Saturday, September 18th, starting at 7:30 a.m.

The ride begins at the Baptist Healthplex in Clinton, Mississippi, and stretches south along the Natchez Trace Parkway. Bikers can choose to ride 25, 50, 62 or 100 miles to benefit Baptist Cancer Services’ Serenity Garden for cancer patients and their families. All participants will receive a Century Ride t-shirt and will enjoy lunch after the event. Rest stops along the route will be well stocked with water and snacks.

Early registration and packet pick-up will be held Friday, September 17, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. at the Hederman Cancer Center at Baptist Medical Center on North State Street in Jackson.  Registration will also be available at the Baptist Healthplex Saturday morning prior to the ride.

The Serenity Garden, located directly outside the Hederman Cancer Center, offers a private, secluded area where cancer patients and their families can enjoy peace and quiet, fresh air and a place to “escape.”

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, the rider's honoree name will be displayed on the biking jersey.
