From the Race Organizer
The Kinetic Ride is more than a cycling event it is a movement. Hosted by Kinetic Smiles Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, this annual ride brings together riders, families, and community members for a day centered on health, connection, and purpose. Open to all ages and abilities, Kinetic Ride is built on one simple belief: movement should be accessible to everyone. This mission is deeply personal. Our daughter, Kamilah, was born with Spina bifida a journey that has shaped our understanding of strength, resilience, and the importance of access to movement. Her experience continues to inspire our commitment to creating inclusive spaces where everyone, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to move and thrive. That is why Kinetic Ride is committed to breaking barriers and creating a space where everyone belongs regardless of ability. In support of this mission, we proudly raise awareness for Spina Bifida and stand alongside individuals and families navigating life with the condition, advancing understanding, inclusion, and support within our community. Whether you are riding your first mile or your hundredth, you belong here. Kinetic Ride is more than the miles it is a full community experience. Families and community members will enjoy a vibrant atmosphere at the Quad on Merrimack St including activities, music, and a back to school backpack giveaway, ensuring the day creates both joy and real impact. Funds raised through Kinetic Ride directly support free wellness programming for youth across the Merrimack Valley, providing access to cycling, fitness, nutrition, and mentorship at no cost to families. This work reflects our commitment to breaking barriers to movement and ensuring every person, regardless of ability, has access to opportunities to be active, healthy, and included. Together, we are building a healthier, more inclusive community, one mile, one smile at a time.
