This is the event where we really kick it into gear! Join us in the Event Center of the Austin Cental Library to see all your friends, get the low-down for this year's Ride, enjoy some snacks and drinks and bid on our silent auction. Our theme for the season will be revealed on Dec 1st, World AIDS Day and we'll have a good time at this event to celebrate it! Bring friends and get them involved too!
*********************
The Hill Country Ride for AIDS (HCRA) is the largest fundraiser in Central Texas for HIV/AIDS services. A family-friendly and festive bike ride through the beautiful hill country, the Ride raises funds that are given directly to nine local nonprofits who help those in our community affected by HIV/AIDS. In the past 26+ years the Ride has raised over $13 million (This year, we will hit $14 million with your help)! The Ride has been voted “Best Ride” in Austin twice by the Austin Chronicle and the “Best Cycling Event” by Austin Fit Magazine three consecutive years. It is a beloved community event with an amazingly loyal and supportive following.
The HCRA is a ride, not a race, and all levels are welcomed and celebrated. Participants choose the distance and route that best suits them: 12, 27, 45, or 75 miles. All routes are fully supported with exciting, helpful volunteers in a fun, party-like atmosphere. Riders can participate individually or start a team with friends, officemates, family members, classmates, or congregations. They can also take part in JoyRides, fundraisers, and social events and rides throughout the ride season to connect to the cause and to one another. Since the year 2000, the Hill Country Ride for AIDS has developed a community of kindness that fully supports its participants, volunteers, supporters, and the beneficiaries it serves. $630,195 was raised in 2026, and with the continued help of our valued partners, we hope to raise even more for those in need in 2026.
