Route Description
Created for the 2021 summer ride, the Smoky Mountains route is a fourth route to accommodate a larger 2021 team which includes riders who deferred from the 2020 team due to the coronavirus and the cancelling of the 2020 physical summer ride. The Smoky Mountains route traverses the American Midwest similarly to the Ozarks route, before traveling to new communities around the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and South, allowing us to visit more cities and people in areas that have the highest rates of cancer diagnoses.
