Since its inception in 2014 the Marlborough Motorcycle Ride, hosted by Marlborough Police Department and Special Olympics Massachusetts, has generated funds for programming and awareness of all the opportunities offered to over 12,000 athletes statewide through Special Olympics Massachusetts. The police-escorted 60-mile ride through scenic Metro West raised a total over $16,300 in its first three years, and is expected to bring over 200 riders to our Yawkey Sports Training Center in Marlborough on Saturday, June 24, 2017.

Online registration for riders is $20 and for passengers is $10. Day-of registration will be $25 for riders and $15 for passengers.

The ride leaves our Yawkey Sports Training Center (512 Forest Street, Marlborough, MA) promptly at 11:00am and returns to the Center around noon. Following the ride, please join us for a BBQ lunch and raffle.

All money raised directly supports the mission of Special Olympics Massachusetts, which is to provide year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, prepare for entry into school and community programs, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
