Velocity Ride
Velocity: Columbia’s Ride to End Cancer is an annual cycling event benefiting patients, physicians, and life-saving cancer research at Columbia’s Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. Join us this year to ride 15K (9 mi), 50K (31 mi), or 100K (62.5 mi), participate Your Way by completing any activity of your choice, or show your support as a volunteer.
Join Us in Our Mission To Solve Cancer
Velocity began in 2017 as a cycling event with a simple mission: help Columbia solve cancer by supporting research and patient care at Columbia’s Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. Today, Velocity’s mission has remained the same while its community—and its impact–has grown bigger. Over three thousand people have joined the Velocity community so far, raising over $6 million to bring us closer to the end of cancer. 100% of funds raised by Velocity support expert patient care and cutting-edge research at Columbia’s Cancer Center.
Our mission and our legacy continue each year. Join us! The Further You Go, The Closer We Get.
