Ruff Ride New York City 2026

Cycling opportunity to meet people and make a difference! - #Showup4vets 

Team Foster is bringing its signature event, Ruff Ride, to New York City and is seeking registrants to help make this 24-hour endurance cycling and community event a success.  

Ruff Ride is a 24-hour stationary cycling relay—part festival, part competition—where teams rally their communities and raise critical funds to provide service dogs for veterans. Throughout the full 24 hours, cyclists, volunteers, supporters, and spectators will be onsite, creating a vibrant, high-energy environment.  

To Create a Team & Ride: 

Businesses, organizations, individuals, and community groups are encouraged to create a team and participate in the ride, engaging employees and supporters while raising funds for Team Foster’s mission. Veterans ride for free. 

Each registered team is assigned a spin bike. Fill your team with civilians, Vets, athletes, or non-athletes to take turns keeping the bike going for 24 consecutive hours. Your team can be 5 or 50 riders. Teammates can ride for 10 minutes or 10 hours. It's up to you! Team Foster provides the bikes, the fun, and the dogs, YOU provide the team.
