This ride is for everyone. 

Join us for a meaningful and inspiring ride as we honor history, celebrate resilience and show our Jewish pride. 

Federation’s Ride for the Living supports the original Ride for the Living in Europe—a powerful journey from Auschwitz to the JCC in Krakow—commemorating the past and celebrating the remarkable rebirth of Jewish life in Poland today. 

All are welcome! 

Riders: Our local satellite ride is open to all ages and skill levels, offering three pace groups: Slow Rollers (10-12 mph), Cruisers (13-15 mph) and Chasers (16-19 mph).  

Non-Riders: Don't want to ride? No problem! You can still support the Ride for the Living or join the celebration at the end. Register and select "Cheerleader" to make a donation. 100% of all entry fees go to support the Krakow JCC.  

What to Expect: 

This is a no-drop ride, meaning no riders will be left behind. We’ll ride on streets with minimal traffic and security at the front and back to ensure a safe, smooth experience, complete with:  

• A scenic 30-mile roundtrip route from Ferndale to the Detroit River, featuring engaging stops along the way 
• A rest stop stocked with food and drinks to keep you energized 
• Full mechanical and SAG support throughout the ride 
• Post-ride gathering at Ferndale Project—we’re treating you to food and a drink after the ride 
• New this year: Ride as a team! Sign up with your school, synagogue or organization for an even more meaningful experience 

Now more than ever, it’s essential to come together, stand strong as one Jewish people and support our global community. Invite family and friends and create unforgettable memories on this special ride.
