L.L. Bean Sponsors Dempsey Challenge October 7th & 8th
T
he Dempsey Challenge is proud to announce
L.L.Bean is return- ing as the presenting sponsor of their Two-Day Ride.
L.L.Bean has long been inspiring people to live life outdoors and connect with nature -- making them the perfect partner for the Two-Day Ride, which boasts cycling routes that include iconic views of Maine’s countryside and coast.
“We’re excited to welcome back
L.L.Bean as the presenting
sponsor of our Two-Day Ride,” said Dempsey Center Founder, actor Patrick Dempsey. “
L.L.Bean’s commitment to the state of Maine, and to getting people outdoors makes them the perfect partner for this incredible event. Cyclists will enjoy Maine’s natural beauty from the countryside to coast – it’s a unique and wonderful experience.”
The 2017 Two-Day Ride will be led by George Hincapie,
who fi rst attended the Dempsey Challenge in its inaugural year. Hincapie is one of the most recognized riders in the world with numerous world championships, national championships and professional victories to his credit. “I’m excited to partner with Patrick Dempsey and help lead the Dempsey Challenge ride again this year,” said Hincapie. “Not only do the routes have some great climbs and nice views, but also it’s always fun to meet other cyclists who are passionate about the sport, as well as what the Dempsey Challenge supports—raising funds for those impacted by cancer. We look forward to hosting Patrick at our Gran Fondo Hincapie in October, showing him the same hospitality he so graciously showed me in Maine.”
The Dempsey Challenge Two-Day Ride aims to challenge participants in new ways, with back-to-back days of cycling, and new routes that include great climbing and stunning scenery. This exclusive, intimate ride is geared toward the accomplished cyclist and offers a taste of Maine hospitality and authenticity while rais- ing funds for those impacted by cancer. Riders will experience autumn in Maine from its iconic rocky coast to its rustic country- side, enjoy great food and drink, and be part of the camaraderie the Dempsey Challenge is known for.
“We are extremely proud to once again sponsor this year’s Dempsey Challenge. It’s a fun, healthy way to support a great cause and the wonderful work the Dempsey Center does in im- proving the quality of life for people that have been impacted by cancer, and George will be a wonderful leader for this event,” said Christina Semanyshyn,
L.L.Bean’s strategic partnership manager.
On day two, the Two-Day Ride route will hook up with the existing Dempsey Challenge course to fi nish the last 30 miles with one day riders. As participants approach the fi nish line, they’ll be greeted by cheering spectators and a lively Festival in the Park, complete with a traditional Maine lobster bake. The Two-Day Ride registration fee is $150, plus a fundraising minimum of $1,000. Every dollar raised by participants directly benefi ts the Dempsey Center and people impacted by cancer.
You are unique, which means a nutrition program focused on you, your goals, your life, your habits and your happiness will give you the best results.
