Ride for the 96 is an annual charity cyclo-sportive bike ride in memory of the 96 Liverpool FC fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough stadium disaster on 15 April 1989. All entrance fees and sponsorship monies go to charity. In 2013, the ride (and riders) raised £17,000 for the designated charities.

For the 2014 ride, 50% of the funds raised will go to Alzheimer’s Society, 25% will go to Jamie Carragher’s 23 Foundation to be allocated to youth projects and charitable causes on Merseyside, and 25% will go to the Steven Gerrard Foundation to be allocated to children’s charitable organisations and projects.

The 2014 Ride for the 96 will take place on Sunday June 29, starting and finishing at Sutton Leisure Centre in St. Helens, with a route that heads north into Lancashire around the top of Ormskirk and back south towards St. Helens.

The registration desk will be open from 8:30am until 9:45am, with a start time of 10am.
