Welcome, Team Captain!
Rally your friends, family, and colleagues to join you in the fight to beat rare cancers.
What to Expect as a Team Captain
Signature Events
Once you register, start filling your team! Each bike can have four to eight people who take turns riding during your 4-hour event. Events are broken up into four blocks, and Equinox cycling instructors and event emcees will announce the halfway point and end of each block so you know when to switch riders. You and your teammates can decide how long each person will be on a bike. This will depend on the number of bikes you have registered and how many people are on your team.
As a team captain, you’ll lead your team’s fundraising efforts
Each person on your team will have an individual fundraising page, and your team will have a team fundraising page showing your collective fundraising total. Every dollar you raise together will go to rare cancer research at MSK! Know anyone interested in leading a Cycle for Survival team? Refer a friend to become a team captain.
Essentia® is the Official Hydration Sponsor of Cycle for Survival
At all our events, you'll stay hydrated with Essentia® Ionized Alkaline Water and Essentia® Hydroboost. Whether you're pedaling, cheering on teammates, or moving to the beat with our amazing Equinox instructors, Essentia® will keep you fueled throughout your event.
Exclusive Gear and Opportunities
Anyone who attends an in-person ride will receive a Cycle for Survival participant T-shirt at the event.

Thanks to Vuori, the Official Performance Apparel Sponsor of Cycle for Survival, you and your teammates can earn exclusive gear* through your fundraising efforts! There are also matches and challenges throughout the season to help you reach — and exceed — your goals.
What you earn is based on your team’s per bike average (PBA). Calculate your PBA by dividing your team’s total fundraising by the number of bikes on your team. Here are the levels to strive for:
- Raise $5,000 to $9,999 per bike and each team member will receive a hat.
- Raise $10,000 to $24,999 per bike and each team member will receive shorts, leggings, or pants.
- Raise more than $25,000 per bike and each team member will receive a long sleeve or outerwear top.
Plus, you can earn a tote bag by raising $4,000 individually.
*Gear availability may vary by event location. One item per eligible registered 2025 participant. Extreme riders who raise $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000 will also be eligible for the team gear. Participants of the Cycle for Survival featuring SoulCycle rides should check their event page for gear information.
