PMC Winter Cycle FAQs

The PMC Winter Cycle is an indoor cycling event led by some of Greater Boston's best instructors at Fenway Park. It is a "spoke in the wheel" of the PMC's annual fundraising campaign with 100 percent of rider-raised dollars going directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The 2024 PMC Winter Cycle is Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Fenway Park.

You can ride at Fenway Park in one or up to five of the 45-minute sessions led by instructors from Boston-area studios.

Riders will pay a registration fee ($50 for riders) and fundraise to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute ($400 per session for riders).

The registration fee is $50 for those riding at Fenway Park; all fees are non-refundable. Registration fees help cover event costs and allow 100 percent of rider-raised funds to be donated directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Anyone can create a PMC Winter Cycle team! Two people are the minimum number of participants needed to start a team. Team members can be in-person and virtual riders.

There is no additional fundraising commitment for teams. Each team member is responsible for their own fundraising. More information about teams can be found here.

No, riders and volunteers are not required to be vaccinated in order to participate in the 2024 PMC Winter Cycle. The PMC Winter Cycle is following the rules of the host venue, and Fenway Park is not currently requiring guests to be vaccinated.

The PMC Winter Cycle will adhere to all city and state precautions.

Wear comfortable workout gear! As part of your registration, you will receive an event t-shirt or tank top (size selected during registration) and event water bottle when you arrive at Fenway Park.

If you would like to wear spin shoes, make sure to bring your own (such as TIEM) as we do not provide spin shoes. PMC Winter Cycle bikes are compatible with SPD cleats and have cages for riders who would prefer to wear sneakers.

Bags are discouraged (other than purses/small backpacks).

Riders should come dressed for how they want to ride. There will not be changing areas.

There are not showers at Fenway Park for PMC Winter Cycle riders.

Guests are welcome, however, space is limited so we ask that they do not disrupt the session.

PMC Winter Cycle Extreme Riders are those who are riding every session in the 2024 PMC Winter Cycle. Riding a session in the PMC Winter Cycle shows commitment to raising funds for cancer research and treatment, but riding all five sessions shows a commitment that we consider, in the best way possible, extreme.

The fundraising commitment $400 per session for riders at Fenway Park. 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
