COLUMBUS, Ohio — Registration for Pelotonia 2022 Ride Weekend will launch Tuesday at noon. The event is set to take place August 5-7.
Organizers said Pelotonia will return this year with a full in-person ride, an opening ceremony at North Bank Park and overnight stays at Kenyon College.
This comes after changes were made to the event in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
“At a moment when the entire world has been so focused on public health and scientific research breakthroughs, it is truly the perfect time to double down on our commitment to ending cancer,” said Doug Ulman, CEO of Pelotonia.

Money raised at the 2022 ride will allow Pelotonia to continue funding cancer research initiatives at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
