From the Organizer
Join the Albany Ride For Missing Children - a powerful 100-mile cycling event dedicated to raising awareness to protect children. On September 25, 2026, The Ride will roll through the Capital Region on a new route, bringing together riders, law enforcement, and the community to raise awareness, educate children, and honor missing children and their families.
Our Mission
Funds raised directly support the Albany Ride for Missing Children, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of missing and exploited children and supporting child safety education initiatives. Through advocacy, community engagement, and education programs, we work to make the Capital Region safer for children.
About Ride Day
Take part in a life-changing experience as we cycle a well-organized 100-mile route through the Capital Region. The Ride is conducted in a 2x2 formation, paced by local law enforcement to provide safety. Along the way, we’ll visit local schools to share the excitement of the Ride and reinforce important child safety messages. Silent tributes are also held to honor law enforcement and families of missing persons who follow us along the route.
The Ride is fully supported with SAG vehicles, food, drinks, and transportation of your personal items. Rest stops are placed at intervals of 5-15 miles, ensuring riders have plenty of opportunities to refuel and recharge. Every mile we ride helps raise awareness and honors the children we ride for.
New Riders Welcome
