The Million Dollar Bike Ride is an annual charity cycling event in Philadelphia that raises critical funds for rare disease research. Hosted by the Penn Medicine Orphan Disease Center, this inspiring ride brings together cyclists, researchers, families, and supporters who are united by a common goal: advancing research and support for rare diseases. The 2025 edition will take place on June 14, starting and finishing at the University of Pennsylvania campus in downtown Philadelphia.

This ride is open to cyclists of all levels and offers three route options: 10 miles, 30 miles, and 72 miles, ensuring that anyone—from casual weekend riders to seasoned cyclists—can join the cause. The ride passes through some of the most scenic roads in and around Philadelphia, creating a vibrant and energizing experience. Over the years, this event has raised millions of dollars to support research for conditions that often go underfunded and underrecognized. Participating in this event means you’re not just pedaling—you’re pushing for progress in medical science.
