Looking for ways to thank the EMS Professionals in your community or honor the sacrifices of those lost in the line of duty? Join the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride for a single-day ride through Northern Virginia to kick off the Weekend of Honor in Arlington, Virginia! And new this year, conclude the Weekend of Honor with an unsupported single-day ride on the Mt. Vernon Trail.
Throughout these one or two-day rides, you will meet and bond with fellow EMS Professionals, surviving friends and family members of honorees, and supportive civilians. Whichever group you fall into, you will be welcomed from the moment you join our family!
Pedal, support, bind, rest, regroup, commiserate, laugh, and grieve with other riders or support members much like yourself, for a mile, a few, or the entire route.
Choose to start the weekend Friday, July 18th, to cycle from 22 to 62 miles (metric century) or, new for this year, a second day is available on Sunday, July 20th, to ride the Mt. Vernon Trail (without support) to conclude the weekend. Register for one or both days for only $50 for cyclists and $25 for support (Friday only). Hotel rooms are available through the National EMS Memorial Service.
The Weekend of Honor culminates with the National EMS Memorial Service on Saturday evening. It honors the lives of EMS and Air Medical Professionals lost in the line of duty during the preceding year.
