EVENTS

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 45-minute group ride events throughout the day, led by some of the top names in sport and entertainment 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.
