What is the PMC Winter Cycle?

The PMC Winter Cycle is a spoke in the wheel of the Pan-Mass Challenge, a bike-a-thon that raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The PMC Winter Cycle offers spin sessions inside Fenway Park’s 521 Overlook, with sweeping views of the historic ballpark. Fundraise and ride in high-energy, 45-minute sessions led by Boston-area spin instructors.

Fundraising and Commitment

When you register for the PMC Winter Cycle, you are signing up for a fundraising mission first, and a spin event second.

Every rider commits to a $500 fundraising minimum, with 100 percent of funds raised going to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. PMC Winter Cycle riders receive access to a powerful, personalized PMC Winter Cycle Dashboard with email templates, fundraising guides, and donation tracking, as well as the support of PMC staff.

This commitment is central to the PMC Winter Cycle culture and enables the PMC to be Dana-Farber's single largest contributor.
