ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (September 6, 2022) — Registration is open for the 16th Annual Day of the Tread presented by Sunny505 and benefitting various non-profit organizations that serve New Mexico’s children. The event is scheduled for October 23, 2022.
In the last 15 years, more than 20,000 cyclists have participated in the annual fundraising event. Day of the Tread is known for its fun Day of the Dead inspired costumes that are seen on the roads surrounding Albuquerque one day every year. This year’s event brings back the favorites and some new twists including:
- Start and finish area in the Sawmill District of Albuquerque, anchored by the Sawmill Market Artisanal Food & Beverage Hall. Various routes are available including 7-mile, 18-mile, 25-mile, 47-mile, 60-mile and 100-rile routes.
- The Rail Runner nine-mile Family Ride, a 12-mile ride that includes a ride on the Rail Runner, 26-, 50-, 64-, and 100-mile routes. Tandem categories are available for the 25-, 47-, 60- and 100-mile routes.
- Back is a favorite – the Tramway timed Hill Climb event sponsored by Prevender Financial.
- A 4k Walk around Old Town.
One of the highlights and favorite recharge zones is the famous El Pinto, located in Albuquerque’s scenic north Valley. El Pinto has supported the event every year since its inception.
Last year, people from 26 states participated in the event. A video link that shows the event can be seen at dayofthetread.com.
The presenting sponsor, Sunny505, is a New Mexico-based communications firm. “Fall in New Mexico is by far the best season. We are proud to partner with Day of the Tread and showcase our great state,” said Joanie Griffin, CEO.
All proceeds benefit Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation’s Zia Freewheelers Adaptive Cycling program and other area non-profit organizations.
