The Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation’s annual Motorcycle Ride for Charity returns for
its 19th year on September 23 and 24, 2026, bringing together Ontario REALTORS® from
across the province to raise funds in support of shelter-related causes and food insecurity
initiatives in communities across Ontario. This year’s Ride will travel extensively through
the Central Lakes Association of REALTORS® (CLAR) Region, with several communities
along the route before the Ride concludes in Belleville on September 24.
Over the two days, riders will travel more than 850 kilometers through Eastern Ontario,
beginning in Aurora and making their way to Calabogie before concluding in Belleville. This
year’s event has set its most ambitious fundraising goal to date: $72,000. CLAR will
welcome riders at the final stop at the Fairfield by Marriott in Belleville, marking the
conclusion of the two-day journey.
The route will take participants through some of Ontario’s most scenic landscapes,
including Lake Simcoe, the Highlands, Bancroft, Calabogie, Lanark Highlands, Rideau
Lakes, South Frontenac, Prince Edward County, and Belleville. While the journey is known
for its winding roads and picturesque views, the funds raised from our riders will help
support local charities addressing shelter-related needs and food insecurity across the
province.
To celebrate the conclusion of the Ride, CLAR will host a REALTOR® Ride Social from 4:00
p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on September 24 at the Fairfield by Marriott in Belleville. CLAR Members
and supporters are invited to welcome the riders as they arrive, celebrate the completion of
their journey and connect with them following their two-day Ride in support of the Ontario
REALTORS Care® Foundation. Members of the media are also invited to attend to capture
the riders’ arrival in Belleville and the celebration marking the conclusion of the 2026 Ride.
“The Motorcycle Ride for Charity is the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation’s flagship
fundraising event, and every year it demonstrates the generosity and commitment of
Ontario REALTORS®,” said Rebecca Kopel, Chair of the Ontario REALTORS Care®
Foundation. “For 19 years, riders have come together to make a meaningful difference in
communities across Ontario. Having raised more than $600,000 since the Ride began,
we’re excited to build on that momentum and make this our most successful Ride yet.”
Registration remains open for those interested in participating, and donations are welcome
from individuals, brokerages, and organizations looking to support the cause.
