All Bikes Welcome: Harley-Davidson’s "Let’s Ride Challenge Ride for Heroes" Opens to Every Make & Model in 2026
Every Twist of the Throttle Honors Veterans, Military, and First Responders — Join the Ride, Win Big, Give Back
Raine Devries | 27 February 2026
The Let’s Ride Challenge® Ride for Heroes is roaring back for 2026, and it’s bigger, more inclusive, and more meaningful than ever. Kicking off today, February 27, this nationwide push from Harley-Davidson® turns every mile you log on two wheels into real support for the military members, veterans, and first responders who put everything on the line for us.
Imagine this: riders from every corner of the country — on any brand of bike — banding together to rack up 100 million collective miles. Hit that target, and Harley-Davidson pledges a $1 million donation to powerhouse organizations that stand by our heroes every day. That’s the kind of ride that gives purpose to every twist of the throttle.
This year’s program opens the throttle wide: no more Harley-only club so you can ride with all of your posse!
Whether you’re rolling on a cruiser, sportbike, adventure rig, or classic iron, you’re welcome to join the mission. The challenge runs through October 31, 2026, with an earlier start adding extra months of open-road freedom to pile on those miles.

H.O.G. members snag exclusive rewards per mile, plus a sweet $5,000 bonus if they take home one of the grand prizes. New members who sign up between February 27 and April 30 with a dealer referral code get 1,000 bonus points right out of the gate.How to Get In and Start RidingHead to any authorized Harley-Davidson® dealership, scan the in-store QR code for the 2026 Let’s Ride Challenge® Ride for Heroes, and register with your bike’s VIN. You can also register directly at h-dletsride.com or in the H-D™ App — but you’ll still need that first dealer visit to validate your starting mileage. Keep the momentum going: swing by dealerships to log updates, collect keywords, and watch your Rev Score climb.
