Registration for Dolphins Cancer Challenge XVII is officially open, inviting riders, runners, walkers and supporters alike to join in the fight against cancer on Saturday, February 27, 2027. One-hundred percent of participant-raised funds are donated directly to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Health System and Miller School of Medicine.
The event was founded in 2010, inspired by former Dolphins player and broadcaster Jim "Mad Dog" Mandich following his cancer diagnosis, for which he received treatment at Sylvester. Participants can choose from the 13-mile Dan Marino Ride, 39-mile Larry Csonka Ride, 54-mile Zach Thomas Ride presented by Guardant Health, 99-mile Jason Taylor Ride, or the DCC 5K presented by Amazon.
Every rider, runner, walker and volunteer plays a vital role in expanding the DCC's impact. DCC XVI set a fundraising record for the sixth consecutive year, surpassing the $18 million mark and bringing the organization's total contribution to Sylvester to more than $100 million.
What began as a grassroots effort has grown into the NFL's largest philanthropic event, fueled by a community committed to making a difference. DCC XVII returns to Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, February 27, 2027; register today at dolphinscancerchallenge.com and join the thousands of supporters helping shape the future of cancer research in South Florida.
