Ride Around the Lake 2026
About RATL2026
20 Years of Riding. More Than $500,000 Raised. Countless Lives Changed.
What an incredible way to celebrate 20 years of Ride Around the Lake!
This year, 62 athletes and 22 hard-working volunteers came together for an unforgettable three-day journey — riding 300 kilometres, climbing more than 2,500 metres, and demonstrating once again what can happen when an extraordinary community rallies around a common purpose.
But the number we are most proud of is the impact we created together.
More than $500,000 raised for Habitat for Humanity Manitoba!
Every kilometre ridden, every hill climbed, every volunteer hour, every sponsorship and every donation helped make this remarkable achievement possible.
Most importantly, the funds raised through Ride Around the Lake will help support the life-changing construction of homes for three incredible single mothers — Adjiratou, Gloria and Opeyemi — and their families.
To every donor who gave from the heart: thank you. Your generosity is so much more than a donation. You are helping provide families with the strength, stability and independence that comes with a safe, affordable place to call home.
