[AACo Epic PNG.png]
Anne Arundel County, Maryland is home to fun and challenging mountain bike trails in the Bacon Ridge Natural Area and Annapolis Waterworks Park. This year, MORE is breaking ground on trails in the Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park. The new 7 miles of trail in CHMP will provide not only additional options for trail users but also get us closer to having a unified trail system in the county. Annapolis was also recently designated as a Trail Town by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, in recognition of its commitments to developing and stewarding trail systems that strengthen community life.
What better way to celebrate these milestones than with an inaugural AACo Epic!
Experience the trails in Bacon Ridge, Annapolis Waterworks, and Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park through an epic ride! Choose from 20-, 30-, and 40-mile options that offer a fun challenge to riders of all skill levels.
We are grateful to have local bike shops supporting the event. Family Bike Shop will be at the start, providing mechanical support and snacks to take on the trail.

About Kenzie
When Mackenzie Rose Beach was born on July 10, 2015, no one knew that this tiny baby possessed the spirit of a warrior. She was a happy little girl, and brought joy to everyone around her, especially her parents, Kate and Andrew, and her big sister, Maddie. However, life as a typical baby came to a screeching halt when, on March 22, 2016, Mackenzie began vomiting and was taken to the Emergency Room, where a scan showed a buildup of fluid as a result of a mass at the base of her brain. Mackenzie underwent surgery to insert a drain for the excess fluid and remove a portion of the tumor for biopsy. The pathology results returned as a malignant cancer, known as Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT). This is an extremely rare, aggressive cancer seen in only 3 children out of 1,000,000. Mackenzie endured many brain surgeries and flourished under a protocol by St. Jude, administered at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, involving an experimental drug and chemotherapy. In July
2016, a scan showed the result everyone was praying for – no evidence of disease! As Mackenzie and her family prepared for the next step in the treatment process – traveling to Boston in October 2016 for 6 weeks of radiation – an MRI confirmed the worst possible news. Despite being cancer-free just four months prior, the tumor had returned and spread to other areas in her tiny body. Mackenzie fought with all she had, but she passed away in the arms of her sister, and surrounded by her mother and father, on December 18, 2016.
Kenzie Rose, as she was affectionately known, showed us all what is important in life – family, spending time together, enjoying our blessings, and not taking a single moment for granted. We all hope to make her proud by continuing to live as she would want us to live. To honor her memory, we are organizing this triathlon to raise awareness for childhood cancer and as a fundraiser to support The Mackenzie Rose Foundation. The Foundation was incorporated at the beginning of the year to provide essential items to families experiencing unexpected admissions to the pediatric oncology unit at Children’s National Medical Center. With your generosity, we will be able to fill and deliver care packages containing everyday essentials directly to the hospital. These “Kenzie Kits” will allow parents to spend more time with their sick child instead of worrying about picking up a toothbrush, notebook, or snack - all things that are often forgotten with an unexpected hospital admission. All proceeds
from this event will fund the Foundation to help provide comfort and support to other families dealing with this devastating disease.

Junior Tri-it!: Junior Tri-it! This course is designed for first time triathletes. Participants will begin the triathlon with a swim in the SPCC heated therapy pool (4 lengths) followed by a 1/8 mile bike ride before finishing the race with a 1/10 mile run. The course will be held on the Severna Park Community Center grounds. The Junior Tri-IT is an opportunity for younger participants to develop their triathlon skills.
Timing: We encourage everyone to enjoy their experience of a recreational triathlon. The swim, run, and transition times (the time between each leg of the event) will count towards your overall triathlon time. Times will not count for the bike leg because no one is permitted to exceed the speed limit of 15 mph. No participant will be advantaged or disadvantaged by the bike “ride”. There will be designated pathways roped off to direct you to the next leg of the triathlon.
