Reel Housewives of Topsail Island Annual Bike Ride
- Location: Surf City Soundside Park
- Starts: 8:00 am
The Reel Housewives of Topsail Island (RHOTI) Annual Breast Cancer Bike Ride brings the community together for a 26-mile ride across Topsail Island while raising money to support local breast cancer patients, survivors and their families. The event began with just 42 riders and has grown into a beloved annual Topsail tradition.
The day begins at Surf City Soundside Park with an opening ceremony at 8 a.m., followed by the ride at 9 a.m. Riders travel north along the island before returning to the park. Afterward, the celebration continues across the street with lunch, silent and live auctions, and live entertainment.
$35 Registration includes the ride, an annual RHOTI T-shirt and lunch.
It’s a fun, distinctly Topsail event with an important purpose — enjoying the island by bike while helping neighbors in the local community.
