Join Phil's Amazing Race

ROBINSON TWP. — Pedal along with Phil Keoghan on Saturday, as the host of CBS’s “The Amazing Race” rides through Robinson Township as part of his coast-to-coast bicycle trip for multiple sclerosis.
Keoghan will appear at the GNC store, across from Ikea at Robinson Town Centre, for a 9 a.m. pre-ride rally that includes a flag presentation by the U.S. Marine Corps and the singing of the national anthem by Moon Township teen Sarah Marince.
Check-in time is 8 a.m. for bicyclists who have pre-registered at philridesacrossamerica.com for the chance to ride along with Koeghan on an 11-mile roundtrip journey down Montour Run Road in Moon to Forest Grove Elementary School in Robinson. Bicyclists, who must be at least 12 years old, will return on the Montour Trail, while Keoghan pedals on toward Washington D.C.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Keoghan was steering his Specialized-brand bike toward Salt Fork State Park near Cambridge, Ohio.
He’s set to arrive in downtown Pittsburgh for a noon appearance Friday at GNC’s flagship store on Wood Street. He also will briefly appear at an open casting call for the Emmy-winning “Amazing Race,” set from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday at the Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Washington County. Keoghan also will throw out the first pitch at Friday night’s Pittsburgh Pirates game, according to Kim Trohaugh, director of special events for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Allegheny District chapter.
Keoghan’s 3,500-mile, 40-day bike ride began March 28 in Los Angeles. The New Zealand native has averaged 100 miles a day in his quest to reach the finish line in New York.
Keoghan’s ride is raising awareness for multiple sclerosis (M.S.), a condition affecting the central nervous system. One of his family members is living with the disease, Trohaugh said.
The 41-year-old Keoghan regularly participates in “Bike M.S.” events in Los Angeles, and hopes to draw attention to similar fundraising events, such as the Allegheny M.S. chapter’s “Escape to the Lake” June 6-7, for which bicycling enthusiasts will ride from Moraine State Park to Lake Erie. Information is at bikems.org.
