Cycling events

Whether a long-distance experienced cyclist or a casual weekend rider, why not take on a cycling challenge and raise some vital funds for WaterAid in the process?

It's a great way to put the activity I love to good use.

Cycle in your home town, across your state or even coast to coast, knowing that every mile you cover is helping us move towards our vision of a world where everyone has access to clean water, effective sanitation.

Have fun, get fit and make a difference!

The WaterAid Mountain Bike Ride in Marin, California

Peter Moritzburke has been an avid mountain biker for years, but in 2008, he decided to mountain bike to make a difference. With the help of his wife Kelly, he organized the first WaterAid Mountain Bike Ride in Marin, California. The event raised $3,000 - enough to build a well that provides water for 250-300 people - and was “such a blast” that the ride became an annual event.

For Peter Moritzburke, the fundraiser is a “great way to put the activity I love to good use.”
