Pedal Away Prostate Cancer

Pedal Away Prostate Cancer takes place in Dover, Delaware, on September 26, 2026. This is a cycling event, not a running race, with two road routes of 50 miles (80.5 km) and 25 miles (40.2 km), both starting at 9:30 a.m. As the name makes clear, it is a charity ride tied to prostate cancer awareness, and the shared start means riders of both distances roll out together.

The 25-mile ride is well within reach of casual cyclists and runners who cross-train on the bike, while the 50-mile suits riders who already do longer weekend rides. The main challenge on either route is holding a steady effort for two to four hours in the saddle. Prepare with a few weeks of regular riding, at least one ride close to your chosen distance, and a habit of eating and drinking every 30 to 45 minutes. A mid-morning start makes this an easy event to combine with a drive in that morning.
