The ALS Association's mission is to make ALS livable until we cure it. The Ride to Defeat ALS is an opportunity for friends, family, and our local communities to join together to support those people affected by ALS. Funds raised at this event help to discover treatments and a cure for ALS, to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest. Our most local ride is the Ride to Defeat ALS Blue Ridge, beginning in Keswick, VA. This ride offers three road routes (62-mi, 28-mi, and 16-mi) and one gravel route (38-mi), fully supported along the way. Together, with the support of riders across the country, we will defeat ALS.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s vision is a world free of MS and our mission is to cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives. Bike MS is the #1 bicycling fundraising series in the nation. With dedicated riders, we are working to end MS forever, one pedal stroke at a time. Feel the extraordinary support and excitement throughout your journey as we come together to reach our goal. We have 50 rides across the country, including local rides: Bike MS: Chesapeake Challenge in Easton, MD May 15 and 16, 2027 where we have scenic (and flat!) route options of 30, 50, and 65 miles and Bike MS: Nation’s Capital in Reston, VA September 11, 2027, where we have route options from 30 to 80 miles.
