Peloton Captains Asset Kit

Thank you for leading your Peloton in 2026! Your leadership means so much more than ordering jerseys or coordinating weekend training rides. It means leading a group of individuals to get creative, work hard, and harness their passion to change the future of cancer research, together.

We're excited to introduce the new Peloton Captain Resource Folder, now in a single webpage that is simplified and more user-friendly! From website management, recruitment tactics, fundraising best practices, and more, this will serve as a go-to for captains to utilize throughout the year. We encourage you to bookmark this page and don't hesitate to reach out to the Pelotonia team with any questions Carolyn Appelhans (cappelhans@pelotonia.org).

Lead with purpose and confidence. Explore everything you need to build and guide your Peloton, from getting started and creating your team to learning best practices and mastering tools that help your community thrive. 

A leadership committee can play a crucial role in enhancing the impact created by a Peloton! By leveraging its members’ diverse skills and networks, a leadership committee can help a Peloton optimize resources, engage more community members, create leadership development opportunities for Peloton members, and, most importantly, increase the impact that your team is creating.

Inspire others to join the movement. Use these powerful resources, customizable emails, engaging videos, dynamic presentations, and event flyers to rally new participants around our shared mission to end cancer. The best way to recruit participants for your Peloton is to host a recruitment kick-off to share important information and generate excitement with past and new team members. We recommend scheduling this anytime between March and May to allow for ample time to register and raise funds. This is the time to get new members on board, cover Pelotonia history, impact stories, and address commonly asked questions.

Pro-Tip: Invite the Pelotonia team and a funded researcher to join you!

Fuel your team’s fundraising success with these powerful tools and ideas designed to help every participant make an impact. Explore customizable emails, event templates, creative fundraising ideas, and success stories that spark action and generosity. This is the perfect time to rally your Peloton around shared goals, celebrate milestones, and highlight how every dollar fuels life-saving cancer research.
