About Climate Ride

Founded in 2008, Climate Ride is a nonprofit organization established to change lives through sports, like cycling and hiking, and to drive philanthropic impact for the sustainability movement. Started as a five-day bike ride from NYC to DC in 2008, Climate Ride has grown into an idea catalyst and leading supporter of the environmental and active transportation movement. We now have cycling and hiking events around the world helping to mobilize people to protect the planet.

It’s our passion to empower you to actively engage in environmental efforts by completing a multi-day outdoor endurance cycling and hiking event while fundraising through our grants program to support climate, conservation, and active transportation. We create opportunities for you to engage in a way that is uniquely positive, life-affirming, and transformational. We are so proud of Climate Ride participants who make an extraordinary contribution to a cause they care about. You are helping to provide much-needed financial support, raising awareness, and helping to build a national network of supporters.

The reward for this commitment is the experience of a lifetime through some of America’s most beautiful landscapes. While cycling or hiking, participants meet and network with leaders in sustainability, active transportation, and renewable energy while raising awareness of our cause.

What our participants have to say

CASBA has benefitted greatly from our partnership with Climate Ride; thank you for all you’ve done for us, and so many others. For our organization, it’s funded getting various forms of straw building into the building code, and the Green Fondo funded our initiative to make it easier to insure buildings featuring straw for insulation.

Bio-based materials are lowering the embodied carbon of our buildings, and with their widespread use buildings can be the Earth’s sixth carbon sink. As we like to say: ‘Build Shelter – Not Too Big – Mostly Plants!’

— David Arkin

Climate Ride and the staff have had probably the most impact in my life in the last 10 years. I have been passionate about the environment since the 70s but Climate Ride has given me an outlet to do something. I am constantly wearing Climate Ride gear and talking to people about what a wonderful organization it is. I am so grateful that Climate Ride has weathered this recent storm.
