REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for TEAM ROWLAND 2023!

Registration is now open for this year's Team Rowland Road Series - October 6th and 7th. Team Rowland hosts a bike ride and golf scramble every year to eradicate Parkinson's.

Team Rowland began in Greenville, SC at the Tour de Fox Blue Ridge benefitting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF). They are a group of over 150+ riders, 50 volunteers, and 1000+ donors with one clear goal: Eradicate Parkinson's disease from the face of the planet. In the six years since, they have ridden thousands of miles and raised over One Million Dollars for MJFF. Team Rowland also gives to the Parkinson Association of Alabama. The goal is to put money into the hands of scientists who are researching a cure for Parkinson's disease and organizations helping to improve the lives of people with Parkinson's disease. 100% of all sponsorship dollars go directly to Parkinson's research programs.

FRIDAY'S GOLF TOURNAMENT-REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

SATURDAY'S ROAD SERIES - REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

The Team Rowland Road Series event will take place on Saturday, October 7th, also at Oak Mountain State Park. You can choose to ride or walk as an individual or a team. You can also choose to create your own team or join a team. To register, go to the Team Rowland Page and click on the 2023 Ride Registration link: https://give.michaeljfox.org/event/2023-team-rowland-road-series/e428717

You can pick your challenge by choosing to ride or walk. For riders, choose from rides of 5, 10, 15 or 30 miles. The ride includes flat straightaways and rolling hills. There's a course to accommodate riders of all ages and skill levels. As the miles increase, so does the degree of incline, so choose wisely.

If a long bide ride isn't your speed, there is still a way for everyone to be part of the event and part of the fun. Choose a 1-mile Stroll and Roll instead.
