-AAS Members
-Non AAS Members

Participants can cycle (on a stationary or road bike) or run (on a treadmill or outdoors) with the goal for each team to log the most miles. The miles for the runners will be multiplied by three so they are roughly equivalent to the cyclists’ miles.
The winning team and the top individual fundraiser will be acknowledged by the AAS President during the Virtual ASC Meeting.
For residents (members and non-members), the minimum donation is $50 per person ($250 if signing up as a team of five).
Attending physicians (members and non-members) can join the fun with a minimum donation of $100 per person ($500 if signing up as a team of five).
Each participant will receive an email by January 27, 2021 with their teammates’ names and email addresses as well as a link to an online form for logging their daily miles.
We will post updates on the AAS and AASF websites and Twitter using the hashtag #GetOffYourAAS.
Every dollar raised will benefit the AAS Foundation and support academic research!
