R2//NYC History

group of riders in times square

R2//NYC was established in 2018 when 9 riders took the roads less travelled to bring healing through happiness to more kids affected by childhood cancer. R2//NYC is an epic ride experience from Toronto to New York City in support of Campfire Circle. This five-day supported ride takes the roads less travelled through southern Ontario, New York State, and Pennsylvania—culminating with one epic finish in New York City.

In 2023, this epic event returned to NYC for the fourth time! Riders were ready to get back on the road with a fresh route and make a massive impact for kids and boy, did they ever. Collectively, due to the dedication of 41 riders, we were able to raise over $750,000 and provide over 300 weeks of camp programs to kids affected by childhood cancer or serious illness and their families. Over $2.1M has been raised to date through this epic event!
