Cycle on Life 2026

Presented by Manitoba Public Insurance

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.
