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.
Key Dates
Registration Opens
Lead the pack! Be one of the first to register for the 2026 PMC Winter Cycle event.
Registration opens first to Pacesetters (October 15), then to alumni (October 16), and then to the general public (October 21).
The Ride
Ride at Fenway Park in one or up to six cycling sessions! Each 45-minute session brings the energy and inspiration that make this event unforgettable.

Fundraising and Commitment

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