2010 Seagull Century - By the Numbers. This was written by Jerry Jackson for the Baltimore Sun.

• Thirty-eight states were represented as well as Canada and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

• Riders ranged in age from 6 to 80.

• More than 200 cyclists were riding with teams to raise money for heath concerns including Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training, Alzheimer’s Association ALZ Stars and the American Cancer Society’s DetermiNation.

• Staging the event happened with the help of more than 300 campus and community volunteers.

• More than $100,000 was raised for the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity, one of the many community and campus programs the Century supports.

• $2.5 million – Estimated annual economic impact on the Lower Eastern Shore, according to SU’s Perdue School of Business.
