Pelotonia is a grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. In 2013, Pelotonia was one of the largest cycling events in the country with 6,723 riders coming from 41 states and 9 countries. Additionally, Pelotonia had 3,482 Virtual Riders and 2,445 registered volunteers. Pelotonia 13 raised $19 million, bringing Pelotonia’s 5-year total to $61.3 million for cancer research. Pelotonia 14 is well on its way to breaking records once again!
The Pelotonia 14 experience will occur on August 8-10, 2014 with the ride spanning two days and covering as many as 180 miles. Because operational expenses are covered by Pelotonia funding partners, 100% of every dollar raised is donated directly to life-saving cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
