Chicago Rides FAR is a road cycling race on September 26, 2026 in Northbrook, IL.
Fall foliage. A global community coming together. A chance to change lives.
That’s the spirit of the original Wall Street Rides FAR, and that spirit remains now that it has grown into an international event, featuring satellite rides in Toronto, Baltimore, and Chicago as well as numerous virtual rides for individuals and teams around the world. These rides collectively benefit the Autism Science Foundation, an inspiring, research-driven organization that funds innovative autism research and helps people with autism live fulfilling lives with dignity.
We offer rides and walks of varying lengths to accommodate all interest and ability levels. With rest stops along the way, ample route marking, safety monitors at tricky intersections, bike techs and sweep vans if you need them, our volunteers will take care of almost any need. The Rides FAR events are a leaf-peeping cyclist’s dream!
Whether you’re in New York (Wall Street), Toronto (Bay Street), Chicago, or somewhere else, register to join the cause by Riding FAR today!
