MIAMI (CBSMiami) – For the fifth year in a row, cyclists will hit the road this weekend as part of the Dolphins Cycling Challenge—an event dedicated to the fight against cancer.
The DCC is a two-day event, which takes place this Saturday and Sunday, and has six different routes for participants to choose from. The routes range anywhere from 12 miles, with the longest a 104 mile-ride.
The event, a major community initiative, is a collaborative effort between the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, with 100 percent of the rider-raised funds going directly to fund research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. CBS4 is a corporate sponsor of the event.
CBS4's VP/General Manager Adam Levy and Chief Meteorologist Craig Setzer are set to participate in the ride.
Since its first ride in 2010, the DCC has raised almost $7 million.
CBS4's Rick Folbaum and Irika Sargent will help kick-off the event Friday with a half hour special at 7 p.m.
Whether you are a rider or not, the special will have all you need to know about the event.
During the special, some riders with touching stories will be profiled.
