About the Ride

ReidRide began in 2009 with the idea of riding across Wayne County. Each registration would provide a pair of shoes for a local child in need. In the event's first year, 280 riders came out to support ReidRide and Shoes for Kids!

Since 2009, the community has rallied behind the event in many different ways. With your help, we have had $400,000 in corporate partnerships, nearly 7,000 riders, and 122,478 miles ridden, raising $318,917!

Join us in 2022 to make it one of our biggest years yet! With the help of the ReidRide family, we can reach our goal of 125,000 miles ridden and $350,000 raised since 2009. That means we need at least $31,083 raised for ReidRide 2022, and with the help of riders like you, we can absolutely make it there.

Supporting Kids in Need

"Shoes for Kids" Program

As a result of the support generated from ReidRide, the "Shoes for Kids" program has distributed thousands of pairs of shoes to school-age kids over its 12-year existence.

To do so, we partner with local agencies such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County and Graceworks Lutheran Services to reach as many children as possible.

Help us do more! Remember, every $20 buys a pair of shoes for a local child. Please help us by donating to the "Shoes for Kids" program.
