The Lifeline 100 is October 6th. Can you handle it?


Please join Anne Arundel County Executive, Steuart Pittman, Anne Arundel Department of Recreation & Parks, Anne Arundel County Police and Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County (BikeAAA) on October 6, 2019 for the sixth annual Lifeline 100 Community Bicycle Event!

This year will mark the 6th Anniversary of the Anne Arundel County Lifeline 100! What began to showcase Anne Arundel County’s scenic trails and roadways, and spotlight cycling awareness, safety and its benefits, has grown every year into a celebrated annual event drawing hundreds of cyclists of all ages and abilities and supporters from around the Mid-Atlantic.

The event typically attracts more than 800 participants from age 4 to 84 of all levels and abilities, a wide range of bikes including road bikes, hybrids, mountain bikes, cruisers, tandems, recumbents, adaptive and trikes.  Over the past five years the event has generated more than $150,000 in proceeds for non-profit beneficiaries and has won the Maryland, My Maryland Award from the Maryland Recreation & Parks Association.

Have a listen to the podcast we did with Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks:

The 2019 Lifeline 100 will be on Sunday, October 6th. They will again offer 100 and 65 mile scenic routes with views of the Severn River, Chesapeake Bay, historic Annapolis and more.
