By Giselle Mesquital Intern

A record number of cyclists participated in Tallulah Falls School's annual Twin Rivers Challenge

The Twin Rivers Challenge is an annual event where cyclists go on an up to 70-mile-long trip through the northeast Georgia mountains. 

The event is made possible through contributions from Ron Cantrell Construction, Inc. and Springer Mountain Farms. 

“This strong partnership with Ron Cantrell Construction Inc. and Springer Mountain Farms pays for all expenses and allows all other sponsorships and rider registration fees to be directly applied to student scholarships,” President and Head of School Larry A. Peevy said. 

The event was hosted this past Saturday, Oct. 28, and brought in over 170 cyclists, accumulating over $80,000 towards the school’s scholarship fund. 

“The Twin Rivers Challenge brings the community together in support of TFS students and the scholarship program,” Chairperson of the scholarship committee Judy Forbes said. “We are very thankful for our presenting sponsor, Ron Cantrell, and the many sponsors who make this event so rewarding.”

The Twin Rivers Challenge Decade ride is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024.
