The Canada Africa Partnership Ride is an annual bike-a-thon where Canadians rally together to raise funds for community-led impact in African communities.
From June 1-6, riders across Canada participated in the 2021 Virtual CAP Ride, riding in support of strong communities where health, education and livelihoods thrive in a sustainable environment. Read about the ride on our blog and in the Toronto Star!
Help us reach $100,000!
Fundraising continues until June 30th! We are raising funds for education, for clean water, for food security, for healthy children, families and whole communities.

Ride Week
Join other riders for an exciting virtual opening ceremony on Tuesday June 1st at 7pm ET, where we'll hear from partners and special guests, kick off event week and launch the team scavenger hunt challenge. At the end of the week, we come back together for the closing ceremony and presentation of winning teams and prizes (most raised, biggest team, and scavenger hunt winner), on Sunday June 6th at 5pm ET.
We invite participants to complete a 15km bike ride in their own neighbourhood. If you can't bike - no problem! You can walk, run, roll, or participate in the event in the way that works best for you. Share a photo of yourself online and tell us why you're riding (we will send you swag in advance of the ride) - tag #CAPRide #CAPRide2021 #CanadaAfricaPartnership
During the opening ceremony, we will launch a scavenger hunt challenge that participating teams will have the duration of ride week to complete. Coordinate with your team members to solve clues and find items along your ride. You'll write to ride@capnetwork.ca with pictures of the items on the list that you find. These will all contribute points to your team for prizes to be awarded during the online closing ceremony!
