Community Standards

Mission & Purpose

Great Cycle Challenge USA has one goal – to fight kids’ cancer! With the support of amazing individuals and teams, we can make this goal a reality. We strive to engage participants to help us provide kids affected by cancer with the brighter futures they deserve. While we encourage your participation, we hope our community platforms serve to provide helpful cycling tips and safety guidelines, words of encouragement to other participants as well as stories of individuals you’re riding for. All content should be in support of the goal to fight kids’ cancer. 

Event Guidelines

While participating in Great Cycle Challenge, event participants should be thoughtful and respectful knowing that they represent Children’s Cancer Research Fund, children affected by cancer and their families. For full terms and conditions please visit Terms and Privacy. 

While you may see content that follow our community guidelines, but that you do not agree with, ask that you treat fellow participants with respect and kindness. We are in this together to fight kids’ cancer.
