Region: PanMass Challenge Online Registration Opens

The calendar may say January, but 5,500 cyclists from across the country have August on their minds. They are gearing up to ride up to 190 miles in the 33rd annual Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC) and raise money for cancer research. Online registration at www.pmc.org opens to the public Jan. 17. The Pan-Mass Challenge, which is set for Aug. 4 and 5, 2012, is the most successful athletic fundraising event in the nation. It raises two to three times more money for charity than any other and it contributes 100 percent of every rider-dollar raised directly to the cause. For more information about the PMC or to register to ride, visit the PanMass web site.
