That was Ride for Life 2026

May 30, BERNEXPO Festival Hall

Where cycling creates hope, silence heals and music celebrates life

 

The Ride for Life connects three worlds: Bike rides that bring hope to the streets. Resonating spaces where those affected and their families can find strength. And a solidarity festival with live music and an exuberant atmosphere: Life pulsates.

Together we write new life stories - full of life, hope and courage. Full of the joy of being there.

 

Join us on June 5, 2027, to celebrate life!

Over 4.2 million francs of hope
