NYWBA Cycle for Survival 2026
2026-03-08 13:00 - 17:00
March 8, 2026 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
NYWBA Cycle for Survival 2026
This will be NYWBA’s FIFTH year participating in Sloan Kettering’s Cycle for Survival. Cycle for Survival is an annual fundraiser for which Sloan Kettering and Equinox partner together to raise money for rare cancer research.
We ride in memory of NYWBA Past President Amanda Norejko who we sadly lost to cancer in August 2024.
Cycle for Survival is a four-hour indoor cycle event during which participants take turns cycling on spin bikes. You can ride for as short or as long a time as you want. There will be a DJ playing music and the Equinox spin instructors take turns riding on the stage. It is a really fun, inspirational and exciting event and we urge each of you to join the NYWBA team.
If you are unable to ride or would rather not ride that is completely fine. Feel free to come to cheer on our team or visit the NYWBA team website and make a donation.
We are really looking forward to the event this year and hope each of you will join us in the fight to cure rare cancers.
This ride will be held at Equinox Bryant Park (129 W 41st St, New York, NY 10036)
