Event Overview

The Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom is not just another motorcycle ride. Instead, it is a demonstration in support of the POW-MIA and Veteran Issues. The goal of the Rolling Thunder motorcycle ride is to secure accountability for the POWs and MIAs. It is held each year on Memorial Day.

Notably, the 2019 DC Motorcycle Ride for Freedom was the last national ride. The change is due to costs and logistics; it is now held nationwide at smaller Rolling Thunder events. But today, many smaller bike rides take place across the country.

With the mission, history, and all of the smaller POW-MIA motorcycle rides, Rolling Thunder is still one of our 2026 Major Motorcycle Rallies.
