Ride New York. Ride for ALS.
Ride all five boroughs of New York City with Team Target ALS at the 2026 TD Five Boro Bike Tour on May 3.
Ride with purpose in one of the world’s most iconic bike tours
Target ALS has been selected as an official charity partner for the 2026 TD Five Boro Bike Tour, the world’s largest one-day charity bike ride. This iconic, traffic-free 40-mile ride takes cyclists through all five boroughs of New York City, across bridges and roadways normally closed to bikes, and brings together more than 32,000 riders from around the world. On Sunday, May 3, 2026, you can ride as part of Team Target ALS and help accelerate research to end ALS.
Why ride with Target ALS
By riding with Team Target ALS, you’re doing more than taking on an unforgettable challenge. You’re directly supporting an ecosystem designed to break down barriers and accelerate ALS research.
Funds raised through the TD Five Boro Bike Tour support Target ALS’s mission to accelerate ALS research, fuel bold scientific ideas, enable open-access tools and data, and conduct global studies that bring the ALS community closer to effective treatments.
This ride holds special meaning for Target ALS.
Before his ALS diagnosis, Target ALS Founder Dan Doctoroff, former Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding for New York City, rode the TD Five Boro Bike Tour with his wife, Alisa. For Dan, the ride represented the energy, resilience, and spirit of a city he helped rebuild after 9/11.
Today, that same ride powers a new purpose, bringing riders together to help ensure that ALS no longer stands in the way of living a long, quality life.
