SpokerRide returns for 17th year

Event to again benefit American Cancer Society, Volunteer Transportation Center

SACKETS HARBOR, N.Y. – North Country Against Cancer will host its 17th
Annual SpokerRide on Saturday, July 27, 2019. The SpokerRide is an annual
charity event benefiting the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life and the
Volunteer Transportation Center, Inc. The ride starts and ends in Sackets Harbor,
N.Y. The courses are generally flat, with some hills. There are two courses: a 30-
mile (beginner/intermediate) course, and a 50-mile (advanced) course. A novice
course is also available for those riders that want to participate but not race. Race
lengths are estimated — depending on road conditions on the day of the race.

All riders are eligible for the grand prize (drawing to be held at the award
ceremony). There will also be awards for the intermediate and advanced courses for
fastest in each age/sex category. Additionally, there are numerous door prizes and
giveaways during the awards ceremony.

Racers registered by Monday, July 1, will receive a free T-shirt. T-shirts are not
included in late and race day registrations. Registration is $40 per person.
