Started more than 10 years ago, Six Pillars Century began with a handful of participants and has grown into a national event with more than 1300 riders from all over the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. Cyclists come from as far as Florida and California to ride the scenic back roads of picturesque Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Dorchester County during the Six Pillars Century Blackwater Tour fundraiser on Saturday, May 4, 2019.
The Six Pillars Century Blackwater Tour offers three very flat riding courses: 37 miles, the famous 56-mile Ironman Eagleman course, or our beautiful 100-mile century course that takes you through quaint townships along the Chesapeake Bay and back through serene woodlands. Each Participant receives complimentary breakfast, lunch and event tee shirt, included with registration. Whether as a tune-up for the Eagleman, a scenic getaway to begin the cycling season or a nice flat ride for beginners, everyone agrees that the Eastern Shore is a wonderful place.
Proceeds benefit 8,500 students who receive character lessons based on the Six Pillars of Character – trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship; at no cost to the schools or taxpayers.
