Cycle the WAVE - Women Against Violence Everywhere

Cycle the WAVE (Women Against Violence Everywhere), is a sponsored, non-competitive, all-women’s cycling event. It is a venue created for women of all ages and fitness levels to experience camaraderie, increase awareness of domestic violence through visibility and raise funds for domestic violence programs.

The lengths of the varied routes offer something for everyone. The first ride in Washington State in 2008 generated 233 riders and by 2012 participation had grown to 1,160 women riders of all ages. In 2014, we anticipate hosting over 1400 women cyclists!

In 2011 CTW has broadened its mission to inspire fitness, increase awareness and offer hope across Washington State. In response to expanding the sphere of programs that it supports, The WAVE Foundation was created. The WAVE Foundation operates as a separate 501 (c)(3) public charity.


Cycle the WAVE is an organization based 100% on volunteers and is successful because of their dedication and support. If you would like to get involved, please contact us.

100% of net proceeds benefit domestic violence programs and services.
