When you ride the ACS Bike-A-Thon: Bridge to the Beach, each mile becomes a tribute a symbol of love, strength, and hope. You're not just cycling; you're joining a powerful community of athletes; all bound by the mission to end cancer. Whether you ride to honor someone still fighting or to remember a loved one gone too soon, you're carrying their spirit with you on every mile of this journey.
For over 50 years, the ACS Bike-A-Thon: Bridge to the Beach has been more than a ride it's been a movement. A movement that's saved lives, sparked breakthroughs, and restored hope. On June 6, 2027, our fight continues. As long as there are patients waiting for a cure, as long as there's hope to give, we ride. Together.
Each rider must fundraise a minimum $250 to ride for adults and $50 for youth ages 13-17.
(Youth fundraising minimums on their fundraising page will show as $250, but they will only be required to raise $50).
Join us for the 55th annual ACS Bike-A-Thon: Bridge to the Beach ride. Let's keep pushing forward mile after mile until we end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
When you support Bike-A-Thon and the American Cancer Society, you are supporting the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
