The Kris Yip Memorial Zwift Fondo is celebrating Kris's legacy of kindness, sportsmanship, and inclusivity. This ride welcomes all, irrespective of their skill level. We are riding the 2022 World Championship course which Kris rode for Canada in 2022.

The Kris Yip Memorial Zwift Fondo honours Kris’s incredible legacy, celebrating his passion for cycling and his unwavering commitment to kindness, sportsmanship, and inclusion. This event not only brings together the online cycling community but also recognizes Kris’s impact around the globe.

The Kris Yip Memorial Foundation aims to raise awareness of coronary artery disease, the number one cause of sudden cardiac death in athletes over 35 years of age, and advocate for cardiac services for those without typical CAD risk factors. Kris’s sudden death from CAD was preventable, and we believe that proper cardiac testing should be accessible to all, regardless of fitness level and perceived health.

CAD can develop without warning, often overlooked in those who don’t fit the “typical” risk profile. That’s why it’s so important to be your own advocate. This disease in athletes often presents subtly or atypically, making vigilance critical.

Please be aware of: Common symptoms that include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fatigue and silent symptoms like pain in the jaw, shoulders, or back, as well as nausea or unusual fatigue. If you experience these, even mildly, seek medical attention.

If a first degree relative has been diagnosed with CAD, advocate for a thorough cardiac evaluation with your doctor. Family history is a critical risk factor that should never be ignored. Together, let’s ride to spread awareness, inspire action, and continue Kris’s legacy of making a difference.
