About us
Your Registration for Ride for the Arts Supports the Arts!
This is a fund raiser for MCA, whose sole mission is to support the arts in Ocala and Marion County, Florida, and does so through direct local grants, advocacy, its gallery activities at Brick City Center for the Arts, and bringing more people to the arts with events such as this including Horse Fever, Artist Within, Barkitecture and more.
Ride for the Arts capitalizes on the rising trend of cycling and fitness and demand for experienced-based spending with an event like no other. Growing the ride to a Gran Fondo will gain national attention, focusing an important demographic on two key components of Ocala's amazing quality of life - fitness and culture.

Weather Cancellation Policies
This is a Rain or Shine event. No refunds or transfers.
The safety of our participants and volunteers is our most important concern and if any of the threatening weather conditions are present the day of the event (tornado warning, tornado watch, thunderstorm, heavy rain or a hurricane decides to visit), the event may be delayed or canceled.
When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, such conditions fall under the label “acts of mother nature,” it will not result in refunding of any event entry fees or future event credits, since funds were already spent in preparation for your event day.
