It’s why we ride

This is Pelotonia. The expectation-defying, cancer-fighting grassroots community of tens of thousands of people rallying around One Goal.

 

At Pelotonia, we’re driven by our mission: to engage, inspire, and challenge a community committed to change the world by accelerating innovative cancer research.

 

Pelotonia is a community that is passionate about Ending Cancer. Through annual cycling and event experiences, volunteerism, and year-round fundraising, we have raised more than $339 million for innovative cancer research. And we're not done yet.
