Together We Ride is a one-of-a-kind event, which is a collaborative effort of four independent Y’s –the Duluth Area Family YMCA, Itasca County Family YMCA, Mesabi Family YMCA, and the Superior Douglas County Family YMCA. It was designed to promote healthy living and introduce cycling to more people, both young and old, while encouraging and incentivizing getting outside and being healthy. Together We Ride is a community building event that incentivizes healthy activity, brings together people of all ages, and raises the desperately needed funds to support the mission and cause of the Y. 

The YMCA is devoted to putting into practice programs that build a healthy mind, body, and spirit for all. Together We Ride is comprised of four ways for you to participate: 

1. The Together We Ride Challenge will get people moving with a goal to log 240 miles from their registration until August 29th.  Registration opens on June 18th giving you 10 weeks to complete your challenge.  Start moving and donate your hustle today!
2. A Y-Leader Ride, where a group of dedicated Y Leaders will complete a nearly 240-mile ride from Duluth/Hermantown up to Virginia, over to Grand Rapids, and back down to Superior, Wisconsin in 3 days!  
3. Our touring bike rodeos will visit 4 unique Community Events designed to connect youth with local cycling experts and enthusiasts as they learn safety skills and basic bike repair skills.  These events at each Y along the journey will bring together our communities in celebration and are free and family-friendly.  
4. The YMCA Get Out & Move Day will encourage people across the Northland to come together in support of greater access to health and wellness opportunities for all of our neighbors!
