About Pelotonia

Pelotonia started as an idea. A ride. A weekend. To make a difference. To make an impact.

But we know, Pelotonia was never just about the Ride. It's always been about setting and achieving an ambitious goal, and raising critical funds to fight a disease that impacts us all. And that's exactly what we'll do again this year. And the year after that.

Founded in 2008, Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund innovative cancer research. Pelotonia is a three-day experience that includes a weekend of cycling, entertainment, and volunteerism. Through its first twelve rides, Pelotonia raised more than $217 million for cancer research. Thanks to its generous funding partners, American Electric Power Foundation, Huntington Bank, L Brands Foundation, Peggy and Richard Santulli,  Harold C. Schott Foundation, Cardinal Health Foundation, Diamond Hill Capital Management, and Nationwide Insurance, Pelotonia is able to direct 100 percent of every participant-raised dollar to cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
