the pelotonia experience

a big idea, one goal

What began as a single event — a bold ride fueled by hope and determination — quickly grew into a powerful grassroots movement grounded in community, purpose, and the unwavering belief that together, we will end cancer.

It’s more than a ride. Pelotonia unites people of all ages and backgrounds to fund life-saving cancer research, honor loved ones, and inspire future generations. From that simple beginning came a ripple effect of change that continues to expand with each participant registered and every dollar raised.
