Behind The Scenes
Pelotonia Kids 2025 Series Kicks off May 10 with Pelotonia Kids Rangers
By The Pelotonia Team|May 07, 2025
The first Pelotonia Kids ride of 2025, Pelotonia Kids Rangers, is set for Saturday, May 10, at Hamilton Preschool in Columbus. Of the nine kids’ rides planned for 2025, Pelotonia Kids Rangers is one of the four new additions joining five returning favorites.
Pelotonia Kids is a series of kids cycling events to engage the next generation of Pelotonia participants. In collaboration with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC—James), 100 percent of every Pelotonia Kids participant-raised dollar will be directed to innovative pediatric cancer research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Each Pelotonia Kids ride is organized by Pelotonia community volunteers with assistance from Pelotonia through planning resources, equipment rentals, merchandise and promotional support. Events vary in participant ages, route distances and venue locations.
Planning for Pelotonia Kids Rangers is led by Brittany Smith and Belinda Anderson. Brittany is also a ride organizer for SpokesKIDS held in Granville.
“I am a teacher for the Hamilton Local School District. It was weighing on my heart to bring this opportunity to the kids on the South End of Columbus.”
- Brittany Smith
So far, 30 Riders are registered for Pelotonia Kids Rangers, which is designed for younger children and features a one-mile route. The event has already raised nearly $1,000 for pediatric cancer research. Registration opens the day of the event at 9:30am, with the ride beginning at 10:00am. Helmets and closed-toe shoes are required for all participants.
“Pelotonia Kids Rangers is more than just a bike ride—it’s a movement that empowers children to make a real difference. In partnership with Pelotonia Kids, this event gives young riders the chance to take action, showing them that even at a young age, they can create change. Every pedal stroke supports kids battling cancer, and with 100% of contributions going directly to pediatric cancer research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, this ride brings hope, support, and a brighter future to those who need it most."
