What is Ride for Their Lives?
Ride for their Lives is a global group of health professionals drawing attention to the fact that climate change and air pollution affects our children. It started in 2021, with a group of pediatric health professionals led by the Head of Climate Change and Health at the World Health Organization. They cycled from Geneva to Glasgow, carrying a report on the health argument for climate action for the leaders of COP26.

What's the plan?
Riders will bike to and from downtown, experiencing the wonderful commuting bike routes available in our city.
There is a 20 mile route and a 10 mile route, and you can ride whichever you're most excited for!
Participants must check-in at the start and wear their armband to participate. Don't forget your helmet!
