The BIG RIDE 2026

Welcome to The BIG RIDE 2025!

In 2026, The BIG RIDE is heading to PEI for a 3-day cycling adventure across the Island! May 29-31, 2026, riders will embark on an epic 300 + kms loop starting and ending near Confederation Bridge (Borden-Carleton). The route blends the Confederation Trail, scenic coastal roads, and avoids overlapping paths for a fresh view each day. The route includes a mix of trail & road: 55% trail/45% road.

​Ready to ride the Island like never before? Sign up today!

Funds raised from The BIG RIDE go to advance cancer research through the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute at Dalhousie University. The minimum fundraising required for each rider is $1,000.
