Nearly 1,500 motorcycles will take to Winnipeg’s streets this Saturday for the 18th annual Manitoba Motorcycle Ride for Dad.
Organizers are aiming to match last year’s record-breaking fundraising total of $762,000 for prostate cancer research and education.
Riders can pick up their gift packages at pre-registration evenings on Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29 from 4-8 p.m. under the big tent at Earls Polo Park. On ride day, registration, merchandise, and sponsor tents open at 8 a.m. Registration is required to participate.
The ride kicks off with a police-escorted parade from Polo Park to Moray Street, rerouted due to construction on Portage Avenue west, before heading north through Selkirk and Gimli and back to Winnipeg. The day wraps up at Cowboys at Canad Inns Windsor Park at 3:30 p.m. with a wind-up reception featuring a 50/50 draw, prize raffle, and motorcycle draw.
Canadian country artist Jason McCoy and David Hatch from TSN’s “Motorcycle Experience” will both be participating in this year’s ride.
2026 MRFD celebrity ride captains are Winnipeg Blue Bomber alumni Adam Bighill, Hamilton Tiger Cats assistant coach Bob Dyce, 92.1 CITI on-air host Poncho Parker, and the Ferguson sisters — Ciel, Téa, Ani and Katrine — Manitoba Motocross champions.
Riders and donors can register at ridefordad.ca/manitoba.
ChrisD.ca is proud to be a returning media sponsor of the 2026 Manitoba Motorcycle Ride for Dad.
