Learn more about Rush to Crush Cancer

At UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, our vision is bold and simple: a world free from cancer. Rush to Crush Cancer was created to help make that vision a reality—one mile, one rider, and one community at a time.

Launched in 2022, with the first ride rolling out in May 2023, Rush to Crush Cancer is more than a cycling evert, it's a movement. It's where determination meets joy, where sweat and laughter fuel hope, and where every push of the pedal brings us closer to lifesaving discoveries.

As one of the nation's largest National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center networks, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center reaches across neighborhoods and nations, from Pittsburgh to Ireland. Rush to Crush Cancer harnesses that same spirit of connection, bringing together families, friends, survivors, caregivers, and champions who all share one goal: to leave cancer behind.

Together, we ride for wellness, for prevention, for fellowship, and most of all—for the breakthroughs that give people more tomorrow. This isn't just a ride. It's hope in motion.
