MS Bike Chilliwack Committee - Route Coordinator

The 2026 MS Bike - Chilliwack is back on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12, 2026. The ride starts and ends at Chilliwack Heritage Park (44140 Luckakuck Way, Chilliwack, BC), with several rest stops along the way.

MS Bike is an energizing challenge you can feel good about. Going the distance makes a difference and every kilometer ridden brings us closer to a world free of multiple sclerosis.
