About this race

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 7, 2026, our fight continues. As long as there are patients waiting for a cure, as long as there's hope to give, we ride. Together.

Join us for the 54th 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.
