The RIDE will happen as scheduled on Saturday, October 3, 2020! However, Covid-related health risks and operational challenges won't permit us to assemble in large groups. So instead, we'll gather virtually, self-organizing in smaller, covid-friendly teams or groups as permitted.

Let's keep our RIDE location communities going! Register for the same RIDE location as last year - or, if you are new, register in a location you're within an hour of.

Event Day Details

Save the date - RIDE Day is October 3, 2020!

The Ride for Refuge is a family-friendly cycling and walking fundraising event. Team Captains select their charity of choice when they start their team.

Start

There are no official RIDE locations this year. Teams will self-organize in smaller groups, following all COVID-related protocols for safety. Ask your captain for details on the plan for your team.

Times

This year you can sleep in a little longer if you want. Teams and individuals are free to gather at a time that is convenient for all of you.

Outdoor T-shirt Pick-up times

Team Captains, participants or one member of a family may pick up your t-shirts if you've qualified ($150 raised for adults, $75 for those 17 and under) at one of these two times.

Thursday, Oct 1 - 5:30 - 7:00 PM

Saturday, Oct 3 - 8:00 - 11: 00 AM

at Grace Baptist Church

2670 Radcliffe Dr SE

Calgary, AB

Please wear a mask. Queue up 6 feet apart from the next person in line, and we'll move through the process cheerfully and quickly, celebrating your fundraising in the safest way possible.

Registration

All participants must register online this year and accept the electronic waiver.

Waiver Details

Someone on your team (like you!) must take a photo of all child/youth waivers and send them to waivers@rideforrefuge.org.

A passion for the charity you're riding or walking for

Warm layers with moisture-repelling clothing in case it's cold or windy. Late September / early October weather can be cool, with rain and wind. The weather might also be gorgeous and sunny. Be sure to keep your eye on the forecast!
