  • One-day ride: $250

  • Two-day ride: $1,000

  • Full ride: $2,500

Registration includes ride entry, custom NMDP Cyclist jersey, professional fundraising support, hotels, SAG (Support and Gear) van support to transport luggage, water and snacks, help with routine repairs, and rider and bike transport as needed. 

Riders will pay for their own travel to and from the start and finish, meals and miscellaneous expenses during the ride. Riders are expected to bring their own cycling gear and equipment.

NMDP Cyclist riders commit to raising their minimum commitment in full by December 31, 2024. If the fundraising commitment is not met by the deadline, riders are responsible for donating any remaining balance.
