When: August 7th, 2021 – We aim to kick off Hilly Philly at 8 am
Where: Great Life Chiropractic – 7953 Ridge Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19128
Hilly Philly is a fun, challenging, and fully supported bike ride/fundraiser that takes on the hills in and around the Philadelphia area. We ride around 25 miles with 2,500 feet of vertical elevation… Did I mention it is challenging? The beauty of this event is, although it is hard, we all get through it together. You are fully supported to take on the 2,500 ft of elevation and if at any time you need water or a snack or even a mechanical adjustment we have you covered. If the unspeakable happens and you have to drop out of the ride, we also have SAG to make sure you are taken care of.
This even sponsors The American Cancer Society and above all, is supports my efforts in raising money and awareness for the awesome things they are doing to eliminate cancer. In addition to supporting research programs to eliminate cancer, ACS puts money into resources to help people with the disease. This is where the money raised with Hilly Philly gets put back into our community.

Do you crush hills for breakfast? Come out and try your hand at the KOM or QOM competition. Do you think this event is impossible? Well, we are here to tackle this as a community and get through it together.
Hilly Philly KOM/QOM Competition
Hilly Philly challenges all ranges of cyclists with our unique way of adding a small competition to the event. If you follow the course and only go up the climbs once, you will have 2,500 feet of elevation. Where’s the fun in that for more advanced cyclists? If you want to risk it for the biscuit hit the top and turn around to get to the last rider (give them a vote of confidence) and head back up the hill. The way you gain more feet is by beating the rider behind you the last person first. This is how we support each other and make it fair for all the participants. You would not want to go up against someone that just does repeats on a hill, would you?
