The 29th Annual BP MS 150 Bike Ride, the largest event of its kind and the largest fundraising ride for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, welcomes the approximately 13,000 cyclists who are expected to take part in the two-day, 180-mile journey from Houston to Austin. The BP MS 150 aims to raise $18 million this year to fund cutting-edge research and support programs and services benefiting thousands of Texans impacted by multiple sclerosis and served by the National MS Society.

Registration is available here. The 2013 registration fee is $100, and a minimum pledge of $400 is required for participation. Individuals, families and groups are also encouraged to volunteer for the more than 3,000 positions in Houston, Austin and along the route.
