30 May 2026 | Sweden
Every year on 25 November, the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Orange Day MC takes that message and puts it on two wheels — bringing together motorcycle riders from across Sweden for a day of riding, solidarity, and community in support of UN Women Sverige.
In 2026, the ride takes place on 30 May. Three official start points will see riders depart from Helsingborg, Stockholm, and Borlänge, each following their own route through Sweden before converging on Mantorp and riding together into Norrköping — the destination for the day — arriving at approximately 17:00.
Riders are asked to park on Södra Promenaden, where the convoy will gather for around an hour before moving to nearby Vasaparken. From 19:00, Vasaparken hosts the evening’s stage programme, with food and drinks available on site.
Beyond the three official routes, riders across Sweden are organising their own informal start points, joining the official convoy at various stops along the way. Regional Facebook groups are active for anyone looking to connect with riders in their area, and a shared closed group is available for those planning their ride together. Many riders also choose to meet directly at Mantorp and ride in to Norrköping as a group from there.
IMRG First Sweden is among the Indian Motorcycle riding groups taking part, with member Mats Fogelmark departing from AVA at 09:00 and welcoming anyone who wants to join.
Organisers note that timings are subject to change due to traffic and roadworks, and recommend keeping an eye on updates as the date approaches.
This is one of Sweden’s most important motorcycle community days — a ride with real purpose behind it.
