The Ride to Conquer Cancer

The Ride is a non-competitive cycling adventure that sees thousands of riders travel more than 200 kilometres from Toronto to Niagara Falls over two days.

The minimum fundraising amount required to participate in the event varies based on the chosen route with goals ranging from $2,000 to $4,000.

Funds raised support the world-class research and care underway at The Princess Margaret with advancements benefitting patients across Canada and around the world.

In Ontario and Alberta, the Ride pivoted to a virtual experience where the fundraising minimum and registration fee were waived, and riders chose their own route and distance to cycle.

Through ongoing research, education, and innovation, The Princess Margaret remains on the frontiers of medical, surgical and radiation oncology, embracing the latest technology and international best-practices and setting standards for patient care.

These riders affix a yellow flag on their bike to denote their journey with cancer, and they are celebrated by the Ride community throughout the event.

The British Columbia Ride commences in Vancouver with riders crossing into the United States to finish in Seattle, Washington.

Due to smoke from forest fires, the Ride could not reach Hope and instead a loop was created with the riders returning to the City of Chilliwack in B.C.
