What is PMC Unpaved?
PMC Unpaved is a spoke in the wheel of the Pan-Mass Challenge, a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. This new gravel event – held for the first time in 2022 – is set in the scenic backroads of the Berkshires on gravel or mountain bikes.
PMC Unpaved enables those who love bikes but prefer to ride off-road to participate in the mission of raising funds for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Fundraising & Commitment
When you register for PMC Unpaved, you are signing up for a fundraising mission first, and a bike ride second.
Every rider commits to a $2,000 fundraising minimum, with 100 percent of funds raised going to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. PMC Unpaved riders receive access to a powerful, personalized PMC Dashboard with email templates, fundraising guides, and donation tracking as well as the support of PMC staff.
This commitment is central to PMC Unpaved culture and enables the PMC to gift Dana-Farber millions of dollars each year.
