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.
Pelotonia is a community that is passionate about Ending Cancer by accelerating funding for innovative cancer research, as it hosts its signature series of iconic and impactful events with cycling, entertainment, and volunteerism experiences. This year’s events included the iconic Opening Ceremony and Ride Weekend in August, and the second annual Gravel Day event in September.
To date, the Pelotonia community has raised more than $283 million. With support from generous funding partners, Pelotonia directs 100 percent of every dollar raised by participants to cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, including the
Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology.
