Women on Wheels!

Join the 2011 Le Tour de Femme, a women-only cycling event with the mission of raising awareness and funding for cancer research and survivorship programs.

Local nonprofit Grab My Wheel presents this sixth annual tour on Saturday, Oct. 8, departing at 9 a.m. from Cycling Spoken Here, located at 1377 NW Maynard Road in Cary.

Le Tour de Femme offers female cyclists of all skill levels from across the country the opportunity to participate in rides of 15 miles, 31.2 miles or 62.4 miles. Since the tour’s inception, more than 1,000 riders have raised almost a quarter million dollars for cancer research and survivorship programs.

Proceeds of this year’s event will benefit the Rex Hospital Angel Fund and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Grab My Wheel was founded in 2006 by cyclists Ron Hamner and David Goodall. The organization provides physical, emotional and financial support to people with cancer, and to the institutions dedicated to finding a cure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Centerfest still located in Downtown Durham?
Yes! Just north of the 5 Points area, the festival will take place across the street from Durham Central Park on Foster St. You can pay a $2 fee to park in the large parking decks on Morgan St., or find some parking lots closer to the site that are free and open to the public! Get directions here.

How much does it cost?While we strive to keep CenterFest a free event, Durham Arts Council incurs substantial expenses in presenting this annual street festival for the community. For this reason we ask that those who can afford to do so make a $4 per person donation ($12 for a family of 4 or more) as you enter the festival. We appreciate your support in making CenterFest happen.

Can I bring my dog, cat, ferret, etc?
While we understand that your pet may be very well behaved, the festival presents a variety of smells, sounds and motion that may startle an animal and provoke a reaction. We are sorry, but we no longer allow pets at CenterFest. Exceptions are made only for guide dogs in service to individuals with special needs.

Is this held in a park?
CenterFest takes place throughout Durham Central Park District. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Where is the closest ATM machine?
ATMs will be available on the festival site this year. In addition, an ATM is located one block away at the Marriott Civic Center. Stop at the main information booth for more information.

Will I be able to maneuver in a wheelchair?
The festival site is completely accessible. If you have other special needs, please contact the Durham Arts Council in advance of the festival to ensure your needs will be met.

Are there kids’ activities at CenterFest?
We have an array of activities to keep the little ones happy. There’s more about this on the Kids section.

What evening activities are scheduled?
CenterFest is a daytime festival and ends at 6:00 p.m. both days. There are no CenterFest events scheduled in the evenings.

Can you suggest a hotel or other things to do while in town?
For information on Durham, including accommodations, visit Durham Convention & Visitors’ Bureau. http://www.durham-nc.com/

Can I still get a booth at CenterFest 2011?

Food Vendor, Performing Artist, Non-Profit/Civic Group Applications available at www.centerfest.durhamarts.org on April 15, 2011.

Can I receive community service hours for volunteering and can I volunteer with my friends?

The Durham Arts Council produces and presents CenterFest each year with the assistance of regional event producers and volunteers.
