The Ride
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 19, 2024, the bike event will be broken into three routes ranging from 15 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
We are so excited to work toward CRUSHING CANCER with everyone May 18-19, 2024. More Ride weekend details will be coming soon.

Cultural District
Located in the heart of downtown, this is home to Pittsburgh’s vibrant arts and entertainment scene. Here you will find theaters, galleries, and restaurants to satisfy your tastes—from drama to musicals to fine cuisine.
PNC Park
Home of the Pirates since 2001, the ballpark offers a spectacular view of Downtown from the North Shore. That, along with its architecture, atmosphere, and amenities, make it one of the country’s most popular baseball venues.
Acrisure Stadium
Originally known as Heinz Field, Acrisure Stadium is where the Steelers and Pitt Panthers have played their home games since 2001. It also hosts big-name concerts and was featured in the filmThe Dark Knight Rises.
When you cross the finish line, the fun is just beginning.
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.
