Both Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan will be joined by their wives and 100 surrogates on the campaign trail – including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida – starting on Friday for a four-day sprint to the finish, CNN reports.

The tour will begin in Ohio and will include battleground states like Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin, according to CNN. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain of Arizona will also be among those offering in-person support for the Republican ticket.

A campaign source also told CNN that Romney will be at an event in an arena in Manchester, N.H., Monday night, where Kid Rock will perform.
