About

The Pan-Mass Challenge is more than just a bike ride—it’s a movement. Since its inception in 1980, the PMC has raised over $900 million for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund.

This year’s event takes place on August 3-4, 2024, with routes ranging from 25 to 211 miles, catering to riders of all skill levels. Whether you’re tackling the one-day ride or the full two-day challenge, the PMC offers a unique opportunity to push your limits while making a meaningful impact.
