The Jersey Shore ALS United Ride is a one-day cycling event, taking place this year on Saturday, June 15th, designed for people of all ages and riding abilities. The Ride is an opportunity to rally together, honor and remember our loved ones, and support our shared vision – to create a world without ALS.

We offer four distance options - the Metric Century (100 KM), Metric Half-Century Ride (50KM), Metric Quarter Century Ride (25KM), or the Family-Friendly 6-mile loop.

Every participant can count on support from start to finish with rest stops, SAG vehicles, and police along the route. Upon completing the Ride, participants are welcomed to the End Point at Morey’s Piers by cheering crowds and finish line festivities including entertainment, a delicious luncheon, and two complimentary passes to Morey’s Piers Amusement and Water Parks (the pass is valid only on June 15, 2024)!
