Event Details

We ride like lives depend on it. Because they do.

Join Blood Cancer United for the fourth annual Velo Palmetto: an unparalleled fundraising competition and unique cycling experience for impactful, driven volunteers who share a passion for cures and cycling.

Velo Palmetto is a three-day cycling adventure through the stunning foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, an experience that blends challenge, camaraderie, and powerful purpose. Riders choose one, two, or three days of cycling, with multiple course and distance options offered each day, welcoming everyone from first-time riders to seasoned athletes.

When you ride with us, you’re fueling Blood Cancer United’s mission to cure blood cancers and support patients and their families. Every mile brings us closer to our Bold Goal: helping blood cancer patients gain one million more years of life by 2040.

That means more graduations. More weddings. More grandbabies. More life.

Join us in Greenville for a weekend you’ll never forget. It’s not just a ride – it’s a movement.

 

When: October 22-25, 2026

Where: Grand Bohemian Lodge, Greenville, SC
