R2//NYC History

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 2024, this epic event returned to NYC for the fifth 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. With the addition of a new two-day ride to Buffalo, NY a total of 63 riders were able to raise over $1 Million for the first time in the event’s history and provide over 400 weeks of camp programs to kids affected by childhood cancer or serious illness and their families. Over $3.1M has been raised to date through this epic event!
