Bananas, Bagels, and Beer: Food facts about the PMC

While the PMC couldn't be more serious in its mission to raise crucial funds for cancer research at Dana-Farber, the event itself is a lot of fun. The camaraderie shared by 5,100 cyclists, 3,100 volunteers, and thousands of supporters is among the PMC's greatest attributes.  But let's be real, we know it's actually the refueling stations that keep us pedaling 190 miles. Carb-loading foods and protein power help send cyclists up every hill. All the food and drinks on PMC weekend are donated thanks to generous sponsors including Cape Cod Potato Chips, Harpoon Brewery, Stop & Shop and Whole Foods, among many others.
