100 minutes. 100 bikes. 100% for rare cancer research.

We're so excited to be partnering with SoulCycle to launch a new way to ride in 2025!

Register to ride

Reserve your bike and commit to donating or raising at least $1,000. When you register, you’ll choose a SoulCycle instructor’s team to be part of and compete to see whose team can raise the most! If you want to add a teammate to your bike to split the ride time and fundraising, email us.
payments

Set a goal, raise money

Each bike has a fundraising requirement of $1,000, but aim high with your goal. Every dollar you raise will go directly to rare cancer research at MSK. Plus, you can earn your way to a front-row bike by being a top fundraiser!
mail

Get fundraising support

Your fundraising resources include a personal fundraising page and pre-written messages for emails and social media posts to help you ask for donations. You’ll also work directly with a member of Cycle for Survival’s professional fundraising staff so you can reach — and exceed — your goal.

Ride and celebrate on event day

Unite as a community on and off the bikes. Ride it out for 100 minutes, dance, cheer, sing, and celebrate all that you make possible. Visit the photo booth, write on the tribute wall, and enjoy food and drinks from our sponsors.

Spread the word  

Let friends, family members, and colleagues know you’re participating in a Cycle for Survival ride featuring SoulCycle! Your dedication to making a difference for people with rare cancers will inspire them to donate. Share your fundraising page, which you can personalize in your participant center by logging in to your dashboard. 

Fundraise your way to the front row 

Instead of booking your exact bike when you sign up, you’ll get the chance to earn a front row spot by being a top fundraiser! Check back here as we get closer to event day to see where you stand on the leaderboard.

Check in 

When you arrive, you’ll check in, find out your bike number, and pick up a T-shirt or tank top and sunglasses.  

The ride 

Each ride will kick off with a powerful speech from a member of our community, followed by 100 minutes of riding led by SoulCycle instructors on four podiums throughout the room. 

Other activities 

Stop by the photo booth for a team picture, write a message honoring a loved one on the tribute wall, and enjoy food and drinks from our sponsors, including Essentia® Ionized Alkaline Water and Essentia® Hydroboost from our Official Hydration Sponsor, Essentia®. 

Keep up the momentum  

Fundraising pages will remain open through April 15, 2025, so you can keep pushing for donations even after event day.  

Don’t forget to say thanks 

You’ll lose access to your participant center on April 15, 2025, so save any donor contact information you'll need to thank people for supporting your ride. 

Share the energy 

Look out for an email from us with a link to a photo album from your ride. Send photos to loved ones and post them on social media using @cycleforsurvival.
