Every year on February 4, the world unites to raise cancer awareness, improve education, and inspire action from across the globe. In 2022, join athletes near and far for World Cancer Day as we demonstrate the power of cooperation and collective action to save lives.

This year, cyclists are invited to hop in the saddle for the World Cancer Day Solidarity Challenge to raise awareness and funds for the global fight against cancer.

We’re calling on athletes everywhere to participate in up to six 45-minute group ride events throughout the day, led by some of the top names in sport like DeAngelo Williams, Alistair Brownlee, Lucy Charles-Barclay, and Nicola Spirig. Finish any event to unlock the 2022 World Cancer Day kit and show your support for the cancer community all year long.

RIDE BREAKDOWN
With six charity rides available, there’s room for everyone to join! These events will be hosted by world-class athletes, triathletes, and cyclists, so don’t be surprised when you find yourself pedaling alongside your favourite Ironman, Tour de France superstar, or a triathlon Hall of Famer.

This is a social ride led by DeAngelo Williams and Chris Harkey for World Cancer Day. They will set a social pace for the majority of the ride. Please stay with his pace. Then, on Chris’s and DeAngelo’s command, it is every man, woman and dog for themselves and a race to the finish for those with a competitive streak.
