Ride10

It's a fun, high energy team element where each member of a team (five people) rides for seven minutes. Ride10 encourages team spirit and friendly competition among friends and colleagues with rides taking place in cities across Canada from September through November.

You’ll be riding on a stationary bike.

There is no registration fee; however, as a key fundraising event for JDRF, teams taking part in Ride10 are encouraged to raise a minimum suggested amount of $625 per team or $125 per individual. The average amount raised per team is $970.

We’re confident that every participant can reach the $125 fundraising level, and are pleased to offer support and advice so you can exceed this target! Across Canada, the Ride events are expected to raise $4.2 million to help support critical diabetes research. Those who reach or exceed the $125 amount will be eligible for fundraising rewards.

While we encourage each participant to fundraise a minimum suggested amount of $125, we recognize that some teams will choose to fundraise as a team. The minimum suggested team fundraising amount is $625. Please note, however, that fundraising rewards are awarded based on pledged revenue raised by individual participants only (not team fundraising or corporate matched revenue).

Fundraising rewards are awarded based on individual fundraising. For example, if a participant raises $125 and they are part of a team that raises an additional $500 in team fundraising activities such as bake sales, dress down days, etc., the participant is only entitled to receive fundraising rewards for the $125 raised as an individual and would receive an exclusive Revolution Ride water bottle.

Participants who submit $125 or more are eligible to receive fundraising rewards as outlined on the pledge form or on JDRF's Revolution Ride website. There is one prize per participant and all funds must be submitted on Ride day or within three weeks of your Ride event day. Participants are encouraged to bring all monies on Ride day to reduce costs.

Appoint a Team Captain, recruit four colleagues or friends and register. Posters, pledge forms and all the material that you need are available from JDRF.

Each team member rides for seven minutes* over the course of 50 minutes.

No. Ride10 is high energy, so you need to set a pace that you are comfortable with; otherwise it could present a health risk. There is a one-minute cool down for each rider, as well as an opportunity for warm ups to ensure healthy and safe fun.

Yes! If someone from your team cancels, look for a substitute rider. Bring the original rider’s pledge form and dollars raised to the Ride. At registration, the substitute rider will need to indicate in whose place they are riding.

Alternatively, a team with four riders could have someone ride twice. All substitute riders must sign a waiver form to participate.

If necessary, two riders could split a seven minute* section to participate in the event. Every member of the team should raise funds.

No, you don’t have to register your whole team. If you do choose to, you will have to logout of the system and then register as a team member for each participant. Team members will receive an email confirming registration. They will then have access to fundraise online.
