Virtual Challenge for a Cause:

The 1928 Legacy Tour Virtual Challenge goes beyond cycling; it's an opportunity to impact the future! By participating, you contribute to fundraising efforts supporting youth programs. One of our flagship initiatives is the Chocolate City Community Ride. This wellness event includes a youth bike giveaway and a community bike ride through the historic streets of Washington, DC.

Since 2021, with the help of our partner, Bikes For the World, we’ve eliminated a barrier of access for 100 youth in communities experiencing chronic trauma and low youth activity rates. Help us connect with another 75 youth!

Our Mission: Promote radical joy in the outdoors!

ABOUT

Picture this: it's 1928, and five daring women - Marylou Jackson, Velma Jackson, Ethyl Miller, Leolya Nelson, and Constance White - set off on a thrilling adventure to bike from Harlem, New York, all the way to Washington, DC. Their passion for the great outdoors drove them to take on this epic journey, and they even challenged other women to follow in their footsteps.

Fast forward to today, Major Knox Adventures and Run 4 All Women have joined forces in the 4th 1928 Legacy Tour Virtual Challenge to honor the rich legacy of women of color in the outdoors and make a positive impact on youth from communities experiencing chronic trauma.
