Ride for a Cause: Join Ward and Smith at Bike MS

Cycling race

Get ready to clip in and make a difference! Ward and Smith is thrilled to sponsor one of North Carolina’s most inspiring cycling events: Bike MS: Historic New Bern Ride 2025.

Mark your calendar for September 6-7, 2025, and meet us at the starting line in scenic Union Point Park, right in the heart of downtown New Bern.

Bike MS isn’t just a ride—it’s a movement. Every pedal stroke brings us closer to a world free of multiple sclerosis, and every dollar raised fuels groundbreaking research and support for those living with MS. 

Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or dusting off your bike for the first time in years, there’s a route for everyone. Choose from road routes of 30, 50, 75, or 100 miles each day. Want an extra adventure? Try the gravel route option on Saturday (mileage coming soon). Each path takes you through the beautiful North Carolina countryside and the vibrant streets of historic New Bern.

The ride kicks off at 8:00 a.m. both days, with music, cheers, and plenty of energy. Riders ages 12 and up are welcome (just remember, a $300 fundraising minimum is required to participate). Every dollar you raise brings us closer to a cure, and there are amazing prizes and achievement badges up for grabs along the way.

Registration is open now! Visit the Bike MS: Historic New Bern Ride website to sign up, set up your fundraising page, and start training.
