Our Story

About Ride 2

Ride 2 is a charitable organization hosting cycling events to raise funds for local cancer support services. While the destination may change each year, the purpose remains the same: turning anticipation, community, and movement into impact.

History & Concept

In 2026, Ride 2 (formerly Ride 2 Boulevardia) rebranded from a single-destination identity to a flexible identity with a variable annual event. Each year features a new, initially undisclosed destination that is revealed closer to the event.

​

Ride 2 began in 2013 as the Kansas City Century, then became Ride 2 Boulevardia in 2015. From the beginning, Ride 2 has existed to raise funds in support of cancer victims and their families.

Our Why

Ride 2 exists to turn miles into meaningful support for people navigating cancer in our community. While the destination changes each year, the purpose stays the same: to raise funds for local cancer support services that help individuals and families manage the day-to-day realities of treatment — transportation, basic needs, and moments of relief when they’re needed most.
