If you enjoy cycling and want to contribute to a good cause, you’ll want to check out the upcoming MS Ride: Tour de Beach, taking place on September 24th and 25th in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.
Not only can participating cyclists expect to challenge themselves with a 150-mile ride, they’ll also be helping out the Alabama-Mississippi chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, as all proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit this organization.
Whether you’re riding in the event, volunteering to help out, or simply cheering on the cyclists, it’s sure to be an exhilarating and rewarding experience. To make the event that much more enjoyable, you might consider lodging during those two days at Hampton Inn & Suites in Orange Beach, one of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission’s sponsors and the host site for the event.
The MS Ride begins and ends at the Hampton Inn, making it a convenient location for lodging during the event. In addition, the hotel offers Gulf-front views, comfortable rooms, a business center, fitness room, and a pool. After a couple of long days of cycling, easy access to the Gulf and a pool is a big benefit!

The Brett/Robinson Alabama Coastal Triathlon is Less than a Month Away!
Few sports can put an athlete’s skills to the test like a triathlon, and in less than a month athletes in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach will get the chance to challenge their athletic abilities right on the Gulf. It’s time to get ready for the Brett/Robinson Alabama Coastal Triathlon and “Tri-it-on” Triathlon on September 10th!
The event will begin with a 1,000-yard swim, followed by a 20-mile bike ride through the area’s state park, and finishing up with a 5-mile run. The other race option is the “Tri-it-on” Triathlon, which involves a 300-yard swim, 9-mile bike ride, and a 2-mile run. Participants are also invited to a pre-race dinner, post-race party, and awards ceremony.
In addition to holding the event and supporting the Sports Commission as a sponsor, Brett/Robinson is also offering a special rate for the event for guests who stay at any Phoenix property—you might want to take advantage of their pools, lazy rivers, and hot tubs after a long day of racing!
More information on the triathlon and accommodations is available on the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission website.
