The annual Pelotonia Ride Weekend is set to feature new experiences for participants in light of its unprecedented fundraising achievement from 2025 — $29.2 million raised for cancer research at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. Pelotonia is a Columbus-based organization raising money for cancer research at The James, primarily through its annual bike-riding event, according to the website. Since its founding in 2009, Pelotonia has raised more than $339 million for The James from Ride Weekend participants, funding partners and sponsors, according to the press release. Dr. W. Kimryn Rathmell, CEO of The James, credits many opportunities for cancer research, innovation and training to the funding received from Pelotonia. Pelotonia fosters connections not only in the Columbus community, but in Ohio State’s.
