Opening Ceremony 2025 is August 1 and Ride Weekend is August 2-3, 2025.

The minimum age to ride or volunteer is 14; however, any age can participate in Pelotonia as a Challenger.

Yes! Riders can participate in both Ride Weekend and Gravel Day. If adding Gravel Day to any Ride Weekend route, the Rider’s fundraising commitment will increase by $1,500. High Rollers ($5,000 fundraising minimum) will be able to participate in both events at no additional commitment increase. Please note, Riders who choose to participate in both Ride Weekend and Gravel Day cannot share funds below their set commitment, nor can they receive funds to get to their fundraising commitment.
Riders do not need to create a separate fundraising profile to participate in both events. If adding a Gravel Day route to your existing Ride Weekend registration, go to pelotonia.org/register and log in to the account that holds your current Ride Weekend registration. Once you are logged into the registration process, select Ride in Gravel Day option and complete the registration process.
High Rollers are Pelotonia’s biggest fundraisers. These individuals set big goals and thrive in the quest to make them happen.
Pelotonia participants can commit to the High Roller fundraising minimum of $5,000 in their personal profile and will be acknowledged as a High Roller if they maintain a minimum of $5,000 in donations after the fund-share period. By committing to raising $5,000 as a High Roller you’re agreeing to having your credit card charged for the remaining amount if it isn’t met by the fundraising deadline.
