The Ride For Roswell is an annual celebration of community support for Roswell Park Cancer Institute and its core mission to understand, prevent and cure cancer. The Ride is a year-round fundraising program for the Institute that culminates in a celebratory cycling event every June. It is a safe and healthy day of cycling fun for riders, teams, cancer survivors, and supporters.

 

The Ride For Roswell offers a distance for any type of rider. Participants can choose to ride from six different routes this year! Either choose a traditional route that starts from Baird Point -- the 62.5-mile, 44-mile, 33-mile, 30-mile, 20-mile, or 8-mile routes -- or join the new Extra Mile Club Peloton: only 13.3-miles from Roswell Park to UB. If you can't ride that day or want to simply fundraise and join us at the picnic, become a virtual rider.
