For nearly 30 years, the
St. Patrick’s Day Ride has kicked off the
Memphis Hightailers cycling season. As a founding supporter of
She to Sea, the club has shifted the ride's date in recent years to allow members to participate in both events.
To reflect this permanent move away from mid-March, the event was officially renamed the
Spring Classic in 2026. This change honors the club's commitment to the
She to Sea mission while maintaining the tradition of a premier spring cycling event.
