The St. Jude Rides event began in 2007. It is an annual motorcycle ride to Memphis, TN that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Learn more about fundraising, rider requirements for the ride to Memphis, TN, tour the campus of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The ride leaves Walters Brothers Harley-Davidson on September 10th, 2026 for a Police Escorted Ride with several hundred motorcycles. The first day, we ride to Dyersburg, TN for a welcome reception and an overnight stay. Friday morning, we await the arrival of the satellite rides coming in from Lacon, IL, Dyersburg, TN, Des Moines, IA, Kansas City, Kansas City, MO, Chicago, IL, Nashville, TN, Dallas, TX, and Dothan, AL to begin the final trek into the St Jude Childrens Hospital Campus along with 300ish of your fellow Motorcyclists for a welcome reception like no other. This is an emotional experience you will never forget! After the check presentation, it's time to head to dinner and if your up to it - join the group and head to Beale Street and enjoy celebrating another year of fundraising for the kids.
In 2026, we celebrate 20 incredible years of St. Jude Rides — a powerful journey that began in 2007 when a passionate group of motorcycle enthusiasts rode 465 miles from Peoria, Illinois, to Memphis, Tennessee, all to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Since that first ride, thousands have joined the movement, raising over $13.2 million to help ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude — not for treatment, travel, housing, or food — so all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
This Year, We Ride to Celebrate. We Ride to Cure. We Ride for the Kids.
The 20th Anniversary Ride is more than a milestone — it’s a movement of hope. Every mile brings us closer to the ultimate finish line: a world where no child dies in the dawn of life.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or joining us for the first time, this unforgettable experience offers:
A scenic, purpose-driven ride from your city to Memphis.
A community of passionate riders and supporters.
Moments of inspiration from St. Jude patients and families.
Special 20th Anniversary celebrations along the way!
SAVE THE DATE: September 10–12, 2026
Get ready to hit the road to Memphis.
