The YANA Ride is back for 2026, bringing riders of all ages and abilities together to support local families facing a child’s medical journey.

Last year, YANA supported 300 children and pregnant mothers, helping provide nearly 600 medical trips.

Organizers say there’s still time to get involved in this year’s ride, which wraps up Sunday with the Party in the Park at Comox Marina Park.

Riders can choose their own route and pace and can take part in the official YANA Ride on Sunday, August 16, or complete their ride anytime through Saturday.

New this year are YANA Ride Hubs and Passport Checkpoints throughout the Comox Valley, giving riders the chance to explore local destinations, collect passport stamps, and connect with community partners along the way.

Whether riding as part of a team or going solo, participants are encouraged to collect pledges, with every dollar raised helping YANA support local families.

Even if you don’t ride, you can still make a donation and help the cause.

The event wraps up Sunday with Party in the Park at Comox Marina Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The free celebration is open to everyone and will feature live music, kids’ activities, food trucks, a beer garden, prizes, giveaways, a 50-50 raffle, a golf ball drop, silent auction, and other draws and activities.

Fundraising riders will also have a chance to receive sponsor-donated prizes, while the top 200 fundraisers will receive the official 2026 YANA Ride T-shirt.

Registration and donations are still open, so there’s time to get involved before the YANA Ride wraps up Sunday.

Organizers say whether you ride, fundraise, volunteer, cheer from the sidelines, or simply make a donation, every bit of support helps ensure Comox Valley families don’t have to face a child’s medical journey alone.
