Manitoba Motorcycle Ride for Dad

The Motorcycle Ride for Dad is a Canada-wide fundraiser dedicated to prostate cancer research and education. Now in its tenth year in Manitoba, this event brings together motorcycle enthusiasts and members of the community in the fight against prostate cancer.

The Winnipeg Police Service is proud to continue to support this very special fundraising and awareness event which is spear-headed by the Winnipeg Police Association and locally presented by PlayNow.com.

The Manitoba Motorcycle Ride for Dad is one of the Winnipeg Police Associations largest charitable endeavors. Last year more than 1500 riders participated in the event, breaking the previous record set in 2014, raising more than $350,000. Since the inaugural Manitoba Motorcycle Ride for Dad in 2009, the event has raised more than 1.85 million dollars in support of prostate cancer research and awareness in Manitoba. This year's goal is to bring awareness to the fight against prostate cancer by increasing registered riders, adding to last year's successful fundraising total.

The 2018 Ride for Dad takes place on Saturday, May 26, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. The ride will start at 1455 Portage Avenue, Earls Kitchen and Bar, and continue westbound on Portage Avenue to Assiniboia Downs and north to Gimli, Selkirk and back to Winnipeg.
