Ride for Ceylon
10th Annual Ride - 2026
Turning Wheels, Changing Lives
Ride for Ceylon is more than a cycling challenge. It’s a shared journey of compassion, resilience, and hope.
In March 2026, we mark our 10th annual ride, covering 450 kilometres from Colombo to Jaffna through Sri Lanka’s most diverse and historic landscapes.
Each mile ridden contributes directly to the restoration of Manipay Green Memorial Hospital, bringing vital healthcare back to communities in the Northern Province affected by years of conflict.
You will also also be supporting many other good causes with worthy charity partners
When you ride, you become part of something lasting – a decade-long commitment to people, places, and purpose.
Ride with heart. Ride with purpose. Ride for Ceylon.
