Founded in Columbus, OH in 2009, Pelotonia started as a grassroots bike tour, but has become so much more than that. It's an organization that exists to change the world be accelerating innovative cancer research. At Pelotonia, we develop and deliver experiences- like our signature 3-day Pelotonia Ride- to achieve our shared vision to empower a global community to affect social change.
Founded in 2008, Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund life-saving cancer research. Pelotonia is a three-day experience that includes a weekend of cycling, entertainment, and volunteerism. Through its first eleven rides, Pelotonia raised more than $207 million for cancer research. Thanks to its generous funding partners, American Electric Power Foundation, Huntington Bank, L Brands Foundation, Peggy and Richard Santulli, Harold C. Schott Foundation, Cardinal Health Foundation, Diamond Hill Capital Management, and Nationwide Insurance, Pelotonia is able to direct 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar to cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
