LOWVELO, presented by Beemok Family Foundation, brings
individuals, communities and organizations together every
year in early November to ride through beautiful Charleston
and the Lowcountry. In the process, participants create
amazing memories while honoring cancer survivors and
loved ones lost. But LOWVELO isn’t just a one day event — it’s
a lifestyle!
We have events running all year long to help get your mind
and body ready to ride and to support other teams, riders,
and researchers who make LOWVELO one of the best events
in Charleston. The 2025 ride will take place on November 1,
so please save the date.
LOWVELO is for everyone
LOWVELO offers participants a choice of five cycling
routes to experience beautiful Lowcountry landscapes.
We also have a stationary ride and the virtual
LOWVELO Home Team option for those who can’t join
us in person or who prefer to cycle, walk, or run on
their own.
We provide inspiration along the way to train and create a healthier
lifestyle — yet another way to fulfill our mission of cancer prevention and
awareness. Want to participate in LOWVELO but not as a rider? Become a
LOWVELO volunteer!
