About Cycle of Hope
Experience Southern Manitoba like never before. This year's Habitat for Humanity Manitoba's Cycle of Hope takes you across golden prairies, through vibrant rural communities, and beneath some of the most stunning skies in Canada, all while making a meaningful difference for local families.
Since 1994, Habitat Manitoba’s cycling events have helped build homes and hope. In 2026, the journey continues as we head south into the heart of rural Manitoba for an unforgettable
seven-day ride powered by camaraderie, determination, and purpose.
Ride with Purpose. Pedal with Passion. Change a Life.
Together, we have a goal of $150,000 to help support a local family to build strength, stability, and independence through affordable homeownership.
With space for only 50 (in-person) cyclists, now is the time to secure your spot.
Don’t wait. Ride for a cause that truly matters.
Why Ride? Because Every Pedal Stroke Builds a Future
This year’s 840 km route will wind through Steinbach, Morris, Winkler, Morden, Glenboro, Brandon, Killarney and LaSalle. Along the way, you’ll pass patchwork fields, wide open spaces, and endless prairie horizons that will stay with you long after the ride ends.
More than a cycling challenge, Habitat Manitoba's Cycle of Hope is a community. You’ll ride alongside passionate, purpose driven cyclists and with every kilometre, every climb, and every shared moment, you'll help bring a local family one step closer to a safe, affordable home.
