Ride

On Saturday, June 1, 2013, choose to ride 100, 50, or 20 miles with cycling legend, George Hincapie. Each route takes riders along scenic, country roads to Hyannis Port. All rides are fully supported, with rest stops along the way and support vehicles on the road. Rental bikes are also available. See Route Map.

Run or Walk

The Carl Lewis Challenge 5k is a five-kilometer run or walk led by Olympic legend Carl Lewis in Hyannis Port. Enjoy a jog with friends, or go for a new personal best. The walk is the perfect challenge for families with small children. See Route Map.

Celebrate

All roads lead to the Craigville Beach Finish Line in Hyannis Port. After you finish your event, recover and relax beachside with a massage, hot shower, food, and open bar. Check out the criterium-style Friendship Races which pair Best Buddies program participants with celebrity guests such as the New England Patriots. And, cap the celebration at our famous lobster bake and private beachside concert by Dennis DeYoung – the music of Styx.
