St Paddy O’Pedal Ride To Conquer Childhood Cancer 2026

Get ready to pedal with a purpose at the St Paddy O’Pedal Ride To Conquer Childhood Cancer on April 12, 2026, launching from the scenic Milton, Fulton area, near Alpharetta, GA. This milestone 10th-anniversary cycling event offers routes for every ability, including a challenging 62-mile metric century, alongside 45-mile, 23-mile, and 15-mile options, often hailed as the "best ride in Georgia" for its blend of scenic beauty and community spirit. Riders will experience the picturesque, rolling terrain of North Fulton and Cherokee Counties, taking in some of Georgia's most beautiful scenery. Typical race day conditions in mid-April feature comfortable highs around 72F and lows near 49F, with only a 16% chance of precipitation, promising ideal riding weather.

The St Paddy O’Pedal is more than just a ride; it's a vibrant fundraiser dedicated to supporting The Kiersten Dickson Memorial Cancer Research Endowment, funding vital pediatric cancer research at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and the Aflac Cancer Center. Cyclists can expect comprehensive on-course support, including aid stations stocked with water and snacks, and mechanical assistance provided by sponsors like Cannon Cyclery. The day culminates in a lively finish line celebration featuring music and "shenanigans," complete with a complimentary super soft St. Paddy O'Pedal t-shirt, free beer, and lunch from From the Earth Brewery.

Join fellow cycling enthusiasts, families, and friends for an unforgettable experience that combines camaraderie, enjoyable routes, and the profound satisfaction of making a tangible difference in the fight against childhood cancer. Packet pickup starts at 7:30 AM, with the metric century rolling out at 9:00 AM, followed by the shorter distances at 10:00 AM.
