The Ride to End ALZ: Colorado begins and concludes at Canvas Stadium on the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins. This road cycling fundraiser takes place in June, offering route choices from 23 to 75 miles, allowing both new and experienced cyclists to select a suitable distance.
The ride emphasizes support: SAG vehicles patrol the course, signage indicates the routes, law enforcement assists at key intersections, and rest stops are provisioned every 12 to 15 miles. Participants receive breakfast prior to the ride and a catered meal with beverages afterward, as attendees congregate near the finish to encourage arriving cyclists. In-person participants are required to raise a minimum of $500, with fundraising incentives such as an exclusive jersey; all proceeds benefit Alzheimer's research.
