It’s time to sign up for this year’s 24 Hours of Booty event on the Booty Loop in Charlotte

It’s time, Charlotte: Registration is now open for 2023’s 24 Hours of Booty cycling and walking event.

The charity non-competitive bicycling and walking event is open to all ages and activity levels. In fact, riders and walkers can set their own mileage goals and get on and off the course as often as they would like over the 24 hours.

Here are the details:

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday, July 28 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 29.

If you’re new to town, the Booty Loop is a popular 2.85-mile route in the Myers Park neighborhood. It’s used by cyclists, runners, and walkers. In the 1990s, it was named by a group of male cyclists “with a lighthearted appreciation for the ‘fitness levels’ of women exercising in the area,” CharlotteFive previously reported.
