About Ride For The Living

Ride For The Living (RFTL), first held in 2014, is a comprehensive educational, social, and spiritual fitness experience. RFTL provides participants a chance to immerse themselves in Krakow’s Jewish past and present while generating support to help build Krakow’s Jewish future. Ride For The Living is JCC Krakow’s biggest annual fundraiser, and the vital work we do from caring for Holocaust Survivors to educating children in our Jewish preschool to providing humanitarian aid to thousands of Ukrainian refugees is made possible through the commitment of the Ride participants.

This in-person, annual commemorative event takes place over four days and boasts a full schedule of activities, including privately guided tours of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Krakow, participation in Poland’s largest annual Shabbat dinner, and an inspiring one-day, 60-mile (97 km) bike ride from Auschwitz-Birkenau to JCC Krakow.

RFTL is open to everyone, regardless of fitness level.

In addition to the main 60-mile ride, we offer a shorter 14-mile subroute, plus an alternative program in Krakow for non-riders featuring the 5K (3-mile) Walk For The Living from the Płaszow Concentration Camp to JCC Krakow.
