Just off of our $69 million gift announcement to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we're already planning for PMC 2023 to be even bigger and better. PMC 2023 is August 5 and 6, 2023, and if you're like us, you can't wait until it gets here!
Read on to learn about what we're planning for PMC 2023 and what you need to know before you register.
All routes offered in 2022 will be available in 2023. Ride Saturday from Wellesley or Sturbridge to Bourne, Sunday from Bourne to Provincetown or 25, 50, or 100 miles starting in Wellesley, or ride a combination on both days! Explore all route options here.
The Pan-Mass Challenge will not require riders or volunteers to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination to take part in PMC 2023. However, Mass Maritime Academy has not yet determined if it will require Covid-19 vaccination in order to sleep on campus on Saturday, August 5.
If MMA or a relevant authority does impose such a requirement, a rider registered to stay on campus but unable to provide adequate proof of Covid-19 vaccination must find off-campus accommodations; they will be entitled to have their MMA lodging fee either refunded or attributed to their fundraising balance.
Guests are welcome to join riders at most PMC start and finish locations in 2023. Guest meal tickets will be available for Sturbridge, Wellesley (Friday and Sunday), and Provincetown Monument Finish. Guests are not allowed at Mass Maritime Academy or Provincetown Inn because of space constraints.
The official PMC 2023 jersey, socks, water bottle, and credentials (e.g., bike tag and wristband) will be received at the rider's start location on PMC weekend, where riders will be required to present their government-issued ID. Each rider must check in and cannot send another rider, family member, or friend to check in on their behalf.
The Pan-Mass Challenge is co-presented by the Red Sox Foundation and M&T Bank.
