DC Bike Ride Proceeds

DC Bike Ride is proud to support our local community by donating a portion of the event proceeds to local nonprofits’ initiatives. Thanks to DC Bike Ride participants, the event has donated over $200,000 since its first edition to organizations like the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, Fruitful Planet, the Wounded Warrior Project, among others.

Sponsor a Rider

DC Bike Ride strives to be inclusive and, with your support, along with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation and #FitDC, our scholarship program sponsors participants who would otherwise not be able to join the ride. Joining us in this mission, #FitDC matches donations through registration dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000!

Since 2017, we have raised over $30,000 and sponsored over 1,000 DCBR participants in one of the region’s premier community bike events. For questions about the program, please email [email protected].

PEDAL FOR A PURPOSE

Since 2020, the Thanksgiving week became a moment to engage our community around Pedal For A Purpose: a fundraising program inviting riders to share their bike rides in benefit of community initiatives.

The program is made possible by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, who rewards each bike ride with a monetary donation, and by an amazing cycling community that has shared over 5,000 bike rides over the past three years for a total of $75,000 donated to food relief programs focused on building community and opportunity.
