A community of like-minded friends
On a Climate Ride, you’ll meet new friends and unite in your common passion for environmental advocacy. You’ll have the opportunity to connect as you ride, explore new trails, see waterfalls and wildlife, or sit around a campfire at the end the day eating great food. We share our stories, passion for the planet, and dream up ways to do more. Through our events, Climate Ride fosters a supportive community committed to creating positive change.
taking on the challenge with full support
Whether you’re riding across the vast desert Death Valley or hiking 4,000 feet of vertical in the White Mountains, our events can be physically and mentally challenging. No matter the challenge, we offer full support so you can focus on the views, your new friends, and having fun! And whether you knock out your first century or have your longest day in the saddle, you’ll come away with a sense of accomplishment and empowerment, that uplift you to go on to advocate for the wild places that left their mark on you.
Climate Riders report back that they are able to bike, hike, run, and push themselves farther than ever before while on a Climate Ride because of the support and community.
We also want to ensure our events are accessible, even if you don’t have the time or ability to tackle 100 miles each day. That’s why we offer full support and shorter route options for every event. Whether your goal is 30 miles or 70, we’re here to help you achieve it.
Advocating for change and creating real impact
By reaching out to your network of friends, family, and colleagues, you’ll have the opportunity to talk about pressing environmental issues such as climate change, sustainability, and conservation. Our events give you the opportunity to amplify your voice and bring attention to the urgency of helping our planet in this time of dire need.
And don’t let the fundraising intimidate you. You’ll have the full support of our experienced and dedicated team who will help you to advocate for organizations working on environmental conservation, renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and anything else that helps our planet that you’re passionate about. Whether you raise funds through pledges, donations, or sponsorships, they’ll go towards powerful grants that aim to mitigate climate change and protect our environment.
