Organiser's Description
Finger Lakes Ride for Life (formerly AIDS Ride for Life) — Ithaca, NY
Join us for the Finger Lakes Ride for Life, an annual cycling fundraiser set against the breathtaking backdrop of Cayuga Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, this is a day of community, purpose, and stunning scenery — with route options of 14 - 42, 90, or 100 miles to suit every level. Riders enjoy full support throughout the event, including seven pit stops around the lake, bike repair technicians, sag vehicle coverage, a midway lunch stop, and a celebratory finish line festival.
This ride brings together cyclists from across the region — and beyond — united by a shared belief that everyone deserves care, compassion, and community.
Every mile you ride and dollar raised supports the Southern Tier AIDS Program (STAP), a nonprofit that has been serving Tompkins, Broome, Chenango, Chemung, Cortland, Delaware, Otsego, and Tioga counties of New York since 1984. STAP provides free, confidential HIV/AIDS testing, overdose reversal training, syringe exchanges, education, care management, and support services across those eight counties — all built around a simple but powerful philosophy: meet people where they are, without judgment.
Central to STAP's mission is harm reduction. Through their Prevention Point Syringe Exchange Program, mobile drug checking services, and Narcan overdose prevention training, STAP works on the front lines of the overdose crisis — giving people access to safer use supplies, life-saving resources, and the dignity of being treated as a whole person. No strings attached.
