The event takes place March 7 & 8 with more than 1,400 participants raising funds for Roswell Park

WHAT: The fifth annual IceCycle fundraising event to support Roswell Park is this weekend at Buffalo RiverWorks. This event features nine classes taken by more than 1,400 participants led by local fitness studios. Studios participating in the 2025 IceCycle event include Catalyst, Hype, Jada Blitz, Rebel Ride, Revolution Buffalo, Rise Fitness Studio and Spark Fitness. We are also offering a new theme ride, ‘In Our Swiftie Era.’ To date, this year’s event has raised more than $600,000.

It’s not too late for the WNY community to participate in and support this weekend’s IceCycle event. New this year: check out Fitness Off the Ice, sponsored by the New Era Cap Foundation. Through Fitness Off the Ice, IceCycle participants, friends and family members are welcome to try out free fitness classes throughout Friday and Saturday. There will also be a small vendor village, sponsored by Casella, open to the public inside RiverWorks and a victory bell for patients and survivors to ring.

Donations to Roswell Park and IceCycle participants will be accepted throughout the weekend. Spectators are welcome to cheer on participants and enjoy food and drink at the restaurant. To donate, register and learn more about IceCycle, visit www.icecyclebuffalo.org.
