Why Ride For Ralph?

Ride for Ralph is about doing something brilliant

for yourself, and for others.


It’s a chance to move, challenge yourself, and spend a day in the fresh air, all while raising money for a cause that gives young people real opportunities to thrive.

Every rider helps fund creative, community-led projects that support young people through skateboarding, music, and the arts, the things Ralph cared about most.

You’ll be part of something meaningful, active, and fun,

with a medal at the finish line and impact that goes far beyond the ride.

Open to ages 12+

  1. Under 18s must ride with a responsible adult

  2. Road bikes, hybrids, and e-bikes welcome
