The RCDCU Annual Bike-A-Thon takes you through the scenic back roads of Franklin Twp. Cyclist can choose between 10, 30 or 50 mile routes.
The purpose of the RCDCU Bike-A-Thon is to raise the awareness of prostate cancer and the importance of early detection, screening, education and nutrition. The money raised will be donated to the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, RWJ Barnabas Health at Somerset to help defray the cost for prostate screening and the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jerssey. According to the statistics released from the Prostate Cancer Foundation, over 20,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer last year alone. It's estimated that over 2 million American men are currently living with prostate cancer. As men increase in age the risk of developing prostate cancer increases significantly. Our goal is to promote awareness with this event and hope to spread the word of the importance of early detection, screening, education and nutrition.The Bike Routes:The RCDCU Bike-A-Thon begins and ends at the Franklin Township Community Center,505 DeMott Lane Somerset NJ promptly at 8:00 am.The 3 Mile Fun
