Cycle on Life 2026

Presented by Manitoba Public Insurance

Thanks for making ride day a success!

Thanks to you, we raised over $110,000 for Riverview Health Centre!

More than 200 riders, along with volunteers, sponsors, donors, and supporters, came together in support of Riverview Health Centre.

On behalf of everyone at the Foundation, and the people who live, heal, and work at Riverview, thank you for making ride day such a success!

Because of your hard work, these funds will help support better care, meaningful recreation, specialized equipment, staff training, and so much more for the people who rely on Riverview.

But we’re not done yet!

The ride may be over, but fundraising continues until June 30!

And don’t forget: any funds raised until June 30 still count toward our fundraising rewards!

Event details

Each year, Cycle on Life brings together community members and cyclists of all levels who want to show their support in ways that work for them. Some riders take on the full routes while others support the day through the No Ride, Ride. What matters most isn’t the distance traveled, but the reason everyone shows up: to support Riverview.

As Riverview Health Centre Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year, Cycle on Life creates momentum that lasts well beyond event day. Funds raised support programs, equipment, and initiatives that enhance comfort, dignity, and quality of life for the people who live and heal at Riverview.

More than a ride, Cycle on Life is a day of connection, generosity, and shared purpose.
