Embrace the thrill of Alberta’s Greatest Bike Run – Fresh Start Recovery’s Annual 12-Stop Ride for Recovery.
This year marks our 18th year, and we’re proud to have Grover Law as our Presenting Sponsor. We’re also grateful for our Community Champions: Calgary Harley-Davidson, Cochrane Toyota, and the Government of Alberta - Alberta Recovery Model.
Fresh Start Recovery's Annual 12-Stop Ride for Recovery is one of Calgary's most anticipated fundraising events, bringing together riders, families, and supporters for a day of adventure, connection, and purpose. This family-friendly motorcycle ride raises awareness and funds for addiction treatment, recovery housing, and ongoing support services that help individuals and families build healthier, more stable futures. Through community involvement and shared experiences, the event highlights the life-changing impact of recovery and the importance of supporting those on their journey.
Registration opens on February 16th.
The ride will be held on Saturday, August 15th, with registration beginning at 8:00 a.m. at Fresh Start Recovery’s Calgary location (411 - 41 Ave NE, Calgary). We’ll start with a hearty breakfast, then riders and passengers hit the road for roughly 400 km of some of the best riding in the country.
This is a scavenger hunt-style ride. You’ll head out with your first clue and work your way through a full day of unique stops across rural and urban landscapes. Every stop brings a new activity and the next clue. We’ll wrap the day with dinner, the live draw of our motorcycle raffle and 50/50 winners, and a celebration of community.
The ride is an opportunity to be part of something real, alongside a community that believes recovery is possible and worth showing up for.
You can support the day in a few ways:
• Register and bring your co-workers, friends, and family along for the ride
• Donate a monetary gift or a prize item (products or services). Prize donations may be awarded to participants or auctioned off. Monetary donations support Fresh Start’s programs and services. Donations valued over $20 receive a charitable tax receipt
