Rating: Rate this Event Now

Take to the streets of New York and ride on this traffic free route though all 5 New York Boros: Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and of course Manhattan. Ride for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation USA to get your spot in this sell out event.

The route is 42 miles in total and is mostly flat - except for the bridges! It starts in lower Manhattan, before winding it’s way through Central Park and continues on to historic Harlem and the Bronx, returning south along the East River. From there it crosses into Queens and then Brooklyn, where cyclists take over the highway before making the thrilling climb up—and down—the Verrazano-Bridge to Staten Island. For more information on the event you can visit the event website: http://www.bikenewyork.org/ride/five-boro-bike-tour/

To take part in the race, the minimum required sponsorship is $1000. In return, you are offered:

  • The chance to ride through all 5 New York Boros on car free streets
  • Access to the Bike New York Expo
  • Entry to the Festival of Cycling
  • A Laureus branded Cycle jersey
  • A pre-event pasta party with a special guest…

However, please note that the following are NOT included in the cost and are to be organised by yourself:

The funds raised will go to supporting the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation USA. The US Foundation works throughout New York, using sport to tackle some of the city’s most pressing social issues: from gang violence and high school drop outs to obesity and unhealthy lifestyles.
