a MAJOR KNOX adventure in partnership with Run 4 All Women
In 1928 Marylou Jackson, Velma Jackson, Ethyl Miller, Leolya Nelson, and Constance White rode their bicycles from Harlem, NY to Washington, DC in 3-days for love of the great "out-of-doors". This story had largely gone unknown.
Ninety-four years later, we’re riding to change that.
The 1928 Legacy Tour is a MAJOR KNOX Adventure designed for radical joy in the outdoors while amplifying melanated women’s legacy of athleticism, bicycle touring, and celebrating sisterhood on bikes.
Join the 1928 Legacy Tour by taking on your own endurance challenge!
Our goals:
• Amplify a buried legacy.• Celebrate sisterhood and athleticism.• Promote movement in the outdoors.• Promote healing from historical and present-day trauma experienced in outdoor and fitness spaces.• Support for the future of radical joy on bikes through youth bike programs.
Engage with the 1928 Legacy Tour @majorknoxadventures on Instagram. We will be sharing stories, going live with updates, and bringing virtual participants along for the ride!
