The Foster 100 is a 100-mile supported cycling ride through New Jersey from Veterans Island in Pennsauken, to Cape May.
What makes The Foster 100 unique? You’re never riding alone. Each rider is assigned to a platoon with a dedicated platoon leader, creating a team atmosphere where we ride as one. Every platoon also has its own Safety and Gear (SAG) driver, providing support and helping keep cyclists safe from start to finish.
With fully supported routes, scenic elevation, and stocked rest stops along the way, riders can choose between the full Foster 100 or the Foster Metric—a 64-mile route from Bridgeton to Cape May that delivers the same incredible team experience on a shorter course. Every registration includes admission to the Foster 100 After Party, where riders, volunteers, and supporters come together to celebrate the mission, the miles, and the accomplishment.
Register early to secure your preferred jersey size and customize your ride with optional gear, including matching shorts, bibs, and the Team Foster Junk Band. Every mile helps Team Foster provide service dogs for Veterans. Veterans ride free, and supporters can sponsor a Veteran’s registration in honor of their service.
