The American Heart Association, a global force for longer, healthier lives, will host the 43rd annual Beach Ride from Nov. 6 – 10 at Lakewood Camping Resort. The event will welcome over 1,000 horses and trail riders to Myrtle Beach.
The event raises awareness that cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death, claiming the lives of one out of every three Americans, while raising critical funds for research, education, and advocacy.
While the 20-mile beach ride on Saturday is the main attraction, the five-day event includes a myriad of other activities, including a vendor village, costume parade, karaoke, silent auction, t-shirt contest, live music, and much more. Participants will also have the opportunity to join the Nation of Lifesavers by learning hands-only CPR. A Lifestyle Change Award will be given to an attendee who has made positive changes to improve their health and quality of life.
