Ride For The Living

Ride For The Living (RFTL) – is an annual four-day educational, social, and spiritual fitness experience and fundraising opportunity that the Jewish Community Centre of Kraków, (JCC Krakow) has organized since 2014. The main event of RFTL, a day-long bike ride traveling 60 miles from the gates of Auschwitz-Birkenau to JCC Krakow, includes participants from numerous countries. Scheduled during the Jewish Culture Festival and incorporating a variety of programs highlighting the past, present, and future of greater Kraków, the ride serves both to commemorate the Holocaust and to celebrate the rebirth of Jewish life in Poland.
