24 Hours of Booty happens July 24-25, 2026. It isn’t a race and miles don’t matter. Rather, it’s an experience, a celebration, and a triumph! Participants from all over our region commit to cycling or walking as much or as little as they’d like during a 24-hour period. It’s a very special 24 hours as participants, sponsors, volunteers and beneficiaries all join together to make an impact on the lives of those who have been diagnosed with cancer.
Pitch a tent in Bootyville for some relaxing downtime in between your trips around the beautiful Myers Park Booty Loop. Plus you’ll enjoy catered meals, snacks, and drinks in our food tent, including a late night pizza party. We are one team with one goal. To date, your passion has helped 24 Foundation raise more than $31 million dollars for our beneficiaries.
We’d love to have you on board as a volunteer for this year’s 24 Hours of Booty event! Your time and energy makes a huge impact—and we truly couldn’t do it without amazing people like you. There are so many ways to get involved, from pre-event preparation and packet pickup to helping out in the Kids Zone, the Mission Tent, hospitality, and more.

Thank you for helping 24 Foundation change the course of cancer—your support means the world!
24 Hours of Booty is an annual cycling and walking event that has taken place the last weekend in July for the last 20+ year, in Charlotte, NC. It's name comes from Charlotte's popular running, walking and cycling route called Booty Loop which circles through the beautiful Myers Park neighborhood. Unlike traditional races or endurance events, participants can set their own mileage goals and ride on the police-secured course as much as they like during the 24-hour period. The spirit and comradery felt at Booty is truly something you can’t explain until you’ve experienced it.
Meals are provided at the Main Food Tent. Participants will receive 3 meals, including dinner, breakfast, and lunch. There will also be a midnight pizza party, an ice cream party, and power bars, snacks, coffee, Gatorade, and water available throughout the event.
Yes, there is parking available at the event. Participants staying the full 24 hours can park in the Queens University of Charlotte parking deck. Spectators and those leaving during the event are recommended to park outside of the loop.
The event schedule includes various activities and meals throughout the 24-hour period. Some highlights include:
Packet pick-up is available on Thursday, July 24, 2025 at Brewers at Yancey and on Friday, July 26, 2025 in the Bootyville Expo Area. You must bring a photo ID and meet your fundraising minimum to pick up your packet.
Our opening lap is led by cancer survivors. Cancer survivors are welcome to participate in the opening lap at no charge or can ride in a speed for need bike where a cyclist pulls you in a customized cycling wheelchair.
