The Carolina Hills Classic: 4 epic days in the Blue Ridge Foothills

We’re riding for a world where people with arthritis live a life without limits.

Join the inaugural Carolina Hills Classic, a fully-appointed and e-bike friendly road cycling adventure nestled in the foothills of the unmatched beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Fundraising from this event fuels Arthritis Foundation advocacy, scientific research and life-changing programs. Explore the quiet winding roads, vibrant art scene, and welcoming hospitality of this premier Southeastern cycling destination.
 

Each day’s ride brings new delights such as rushing waterfalls, picturesque bridges, and scenic vistas, as beginner and experienced cyclists pedal in and between South Carolina and North Carolina. This self-paced late spring adventure is a premium cycling experience that includes nightly hotel accommodations and entertainment in addition to our standard bike tour offerings. 

Join us in a mecca for cycling June 12-15, 2025, and experience first-hand why Greenville was named one the " Best Road Cycling Weekend Getaways in North America" by Velo Powered by Outside, and why Brevard, North Carolina is called the "Land of Waterfalls"!

The Arthritis Foundation is working to overcome the obstacles that arthritis creates for nearly 60 million adults and hundreds of thousands of children.
