AIDS Ride for Life

AIDS Ride for Life – 27th Annual Century Ride Around Cayuga Lake

Experience one of the most scenic and meaningful cycling events in New York State! Now in its 27th year, the AIDS Ride for Life is an annual fundraiser supporting the Southern Tier AIDS Program (STAP)—a local nonprofit that provides vital health and support services across the region.

This unforgettable ride takes cyclists around the stunning shores of Cayuga Lake, with route options of 100 miles, 90 miles, and 40 miles to accommodate all experience levels.

Along the way, riders are supported by 7 fully stocked pit stops, each offering water, snacks, restrooms, and medical assistance to ensure a safe and energizing experience. Riders enjoy a full lunch in Seneca Falls, followed by a celebratory dinner and finish line festival at Cass Park in Ithaca—complete with cheering crowds, music, food, and community connection.

Whether you’re riding, volunteering, cheering from the sidelines, or supporting from afar, the AIDS Ride for Life is a powerful way to make a difference while soaking in the beauty of the Finger Lakes.
