Get in shape with a goal in mind. Challenge yourself to do the Austin LIVESTRONG Challenge on October 24th & 25th and raise money for the fight against cancer along the way. Cancer doesn’t discriminate, and neither do we. Take the Challenge on a bike or on your feet. Participate on your own or with a team, uniting with others who want to pick a fight with cancer. We walk, run and ride to honor our families, our friends and ourselves. We celebrate victories and applaud hard work – walking your first 5K after completing treatment, organizing 50 co-workers to ride 10 miles for the first time, raising $500 in honor of a newly diagnosed friend, or riding 100 miles in memory of a loved one.

Need to register, hoping my buddy from Seattle comes down to do it with me!

I have not registered yet, but will be doing so soon. Trying to get a team together to do it with, but will do so alone if I can't rally the troops!

Did you get a team in or get registered? If not join my team. Team Kingstrong, or Team King I cant remember how it is listed. We are looking for a couple more people. We are coming in from IL.

This is so intense. I lived in the ATX for 14 years and loved every minute of it. feel free to ask if anyone needs any advice on hotels or bars, etc. I am so excited about this ride.

Im planning to ride the 90 or 100 mile course, I just started riding again 4 months ago, I was 15yo when I stop riding at 30yo its a real challenge for me.

I am living with medullary thyroid cancer and have finally registered for the 65 mile ride. I'm wondering if I can do the 5k as well :)

Planning to ride the 65 mile chasing my 9 year old son, Spencer who will be riding his 6th LIVESTRONG Challenge ride since being diagnosed with leukemia (ALL) in 2004.

this sounds like a lot of fun

I am planning on doing both the 5K and the 90mile ride. Looking forward to both.

By Kicks9100 on May 14, 2009 at 07:21 AM

Registered a little less than a month ago. Have 3 people signed up on my team with more to come. Raised $370 already shooting for min. of $1000 per team member. Hotel is reserved, now just planning other details and fundraising more.

Waiting until I have the $$ for the reg. fee that's not set aside for bills!! I did run in a 5K today(my 1st) and finished in 41 minutes. Also been hiking quite a bit and participating in a bootcamp to increase my fitness level.
