MADISON (WKOW) -- Thursday, more than a 150 bicyclists will embark on a 300 mile journey.

Over the course of four days they'll be raising money for a very good cause.

It's the Wisconsin AIDS Ride and it's celebrating its 10th Anniversary with ACT 10.

Each year, riders travel through part of the nonprofit's 13-county service area, raising both funds and awareness about HIV/AIDS.

To date, 1,145 riders have ridden over 3,000 miles, raising $2,789,680 for AIDS Network.

Riders gather at Olbrich Park Thursday for opening ceremonies at 7:00 AM.

They ride back into Madison Sunday for the closing ceremonies downtown at 2:00 PM.
