Fellows Ride Leipzig – 2026

Leipzig Premiere: The Fellows Ride Arrives in Saxony’s Largest City

On May 30, 2026, the Fellows Ride will take place in Leipzig for the very first time. Around 100 motorcyclists will gather at the iconic Augustusplatz to ride together for mental health awareness. Under the international motto “Ride Don’t Hide,” the charity ride draws attention to depression and raises funds for regional support services.

The Leipzig premiere is organized by Peggy Renger, known as the “Stressdoktor” (Stress Doctor), who has been advocating for the destigmatization of mental health issues for years. With this addition, the Fellows Ride continues to expand its ever-growing list of host cities since the initiative’s founding in 2021.

Schedule and Route

The day kicks off at 10:00 AM with riders gathering at Augustusplatz in the heart of Leipzig. At 10:30 AM, the opening address and welcome ceremony take place, followed by the group departure at 11:00 AM.

The route leads from Leipzig to Borna, where a stopover rally is held at approximately 12:00 PM at the town square (Markt 1, 04552 Borna). The riders then return via Zwenkau and Markkleeberg back to Augustusplatz, arriving between 2:00 and 3:00 PM.

Beneficiary: Leipziger Bündnis gegen Depression e.V.

All donations collected go to the Leipziger Bündnis gegen Depression e.V. (Leipzig Alliance Against Depression), a non-profit organization that supports those affected by depression and their families through counseling, support groups, and educational outreach. As a regional network of the German Depression Foundation (Stiftung Deutsche Depressionshilfe), the organization works to improve mental health care in the Leipzig area.
