PNC Presents Rush to Crush Cancer is an annual event dedicated to raising critical funds to advance cancer research. The event brings the community together for the PNC Mile to Crush Cancer, a one-mile walk, along with 8-, 15-, 30-, and 60-mile bike rides through Pittsburgh. Every dollar raised by riders, walkers, teams, and volunteers goes directly to support innovative cancer research at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, helping drive discoveries that improve lives and bring us closer to a cure.

Measuring progress not in miles, but in lives changed.

Crushing Cancer

Rush to Crush Cancer is about bringing together a community of riders, donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers for a common purpose: saving more lives through research that will change the face of cancer care at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and beyond.

Pedal Power

Launching on May 17, 2026, the bike event will be broken into four routes ranging from 8 to 60 miles to accommodate riders of all levels.

Every Dollar Counts

Every single dollar raised by participants will go toward research at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. It’s how you can help advance cancer research that touches patients everywhere.

Ride Weekend

Join us for the 4th annual Ride Weekend on May 16-17, 2026, and help push us one mile closer to our ultimate goal: life without cancer. Every Mile Matters in this fight!

You will want to stick around after the ride. It is time to celebrate your accomplishment, your fundraising, our mission. You, your fellow participants, your families have made a huge difference.

PNC Mile to Crush Cancer

You are invited to walk as a way of honoring friends and family members who have been impacted by cancer. You will be joined by survivors and their families to show support and share hope.

While there is no registration fee or fundraising minimum for the walk, we ask that you register so we know you will be participating. And of course, you can ask for donations.
