You have the power to change the future of cancer care from the seat of your bike.
Empire State Ride (ESR) is a seven-day cycling fundraising event that takes riders across the state of New York – beginning in New York City and finishing in Niagara Falls. This 500+ mile adventure raises funds for critical cancer research and clinical trials at the world’s first cancer center dedicated to research, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Riders experience:
•No-hassle tent camping with a tent, chair, air mattress, clean towels and daily delivery of luggage to camp each day
•Catered breakfast and dinner
•Nightly mission-based programs
•A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see New York State in a whole new way while raising funds that will make a generational impact on cancer as we know it.
“We all finish together. We ride together. We look out for each other,” said Steve Mars, ESR road warrior. “I signed up for this as a way to honor my mother and others impacted by cancer, and I thought it would be a one-off. Then I went on the ride, and I realized what an incredible life-changing experience it is.”
The 2025 Empire State Ride takes place from July 26 through August 2. Learn more about the ride and sign up to participate at https://empirestateride.com.
