For 35 years, the Rodman Ride for Kids has been an inspiring event, bringing together riders to support youth-focused nonprofits across Massachusetts. This year, we’re taking it to the next level by introducing an exciting new addition—Rodman Ride for Kids Jr.!
This brand-new opportunity allows our youngest riders to get in on the action while helping make a difference in their communities. Taking place on the same day as our signature Ride, Saturday, May 17th, Ride for Kids Jr. offers two unique experiences designed specifically for kids ages 4-12 (and beyond for those needing special support or accessibility).
