Jersey Shore ALS United Ride

ABOUT THE 2026 JERSEY SHORE ALS UNITED RIDE

The Jersey Shore ALS United Ride is a one-day cycling event taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, welcoming riders of all ages and abilities. This annual event brings our community together to honor and remember loved ones while supporting our shared vision of creating a world without ALS.

Participants may choose from four route options, including the Metric Century (100 KM), Metric Half-Century (50 KM), Metric Quarter Century (25 KM), or a family-friendly 6-mile loop. No matter the distance, every rider receives full support throughout the day, including rest stops, SAG vehicles, and police support along the routes.

At the conclusion of the Ride, all participants are welcomed to the End Point Celebration at Morey’s Piers. Riders will be greeted by cheering crowds and enjoy finish-line festivities that include a 2026 ALS United Ride t-shirt, a delicious lunch, and two complimentary passes to Morey’s Piers Amusement and Water Parks, valid only on June 13, 2026.

Our ALS United Ride Staff is here to support you before, during, and after Ride Day. Taylor Montgomery and Chris Albright serve as coordinators for this year’s Jersey Shore ALS United Ride and are happy to assist with any questions. For fundraising or incentive inquiries, participants may email Ride@alsmidatlantic.org. Those interested in sponsorship opportunities are encouraged to contact Taylor Montgomery directly at Taylor@alsmidatlantic.org.
