NO LIMITS: Pelotonia 2026 Theme Revealed 

Each Pelotonia year kicks off with a new creative theme, arrow design, and messaging to support your fundraising efforts and rally together as a community of Riders, Runners, Hikers, Volunteers, and Challengers committed to accelerating innovative cancer research at the OSUCCC – James. 

In 2026, the Pelotonia community’s impact has No Limits. 

“No Limits” captures the spirit of Pelotonia in this moment. To continue our momentum more vibrantly than ever.  

It’s urgent. It’s optimistic. It’s electric.  

It’s a call to move boldly, think bigger, and fuel breakthroughs without boundaries.  

Progress is accelerating. Innovative cancer research is advancing faster than ever — but only if we continue fueling it. 

This theme reflects the pace and purpose of Pelotonia. You continue to push beyond what’s possible. Refusing to slow down in the pursuit of our mission. We just had our biggest fundraising year ever. But momentum only matters if we keep moving. 

The Pelotonia community won’t stop until we cross the only finish line that truly matters: Ending Cancer. 

Fueling Research Breakthroughs without Boundaries 

At Night of Impact last November, as we celebrated a record-breaking fundraising total in 2025, Dr. Sameek Roychowdhury, who was awarded Pelotonia-Funded Researcher of the Year, reflected on the extraordinary momentum of this community — and the pace of innovation happening in cancer care because of investments in research. He shared how Pelotonia funding is advancing groundbreaking work, including his nationwide telehealth clinical trial — the first of its kind — expanding access to precision cancer care through the OSUCCC – James to every zip code across the U.S. 

It was in that context, as Dr. Roychowdhury talked about your impact and the bold innovation your Pelotonia dollars are funding, that he used the phrase “No Limits,” resonating with us that evening, and now energizing our community as the 2026 theme main message as we kick off another fundraising campaign to invest in the future of cancer research and researchers at the OSUCCC – James. 

2026 Arrow, Car Magnets, and Yard Signs 

The Pelotonia 2026 arrow design is a glowing, vibrant symbol of ongoing forward progress and community momentum. With 18 lines to celebrate our 18th year, the 2026 arrow is featured in the new car magnets and yard signs for the community to outwardly share their Pelotonia support this year. 

Visit Pelotonia HQ for 2026 Launch Week Open Houses on March 4 from 4-6pm or March 5 from 8:30-10am to pick up your new car magnets, yard signs, and stickers featuring this year’s theme.
