On August 2, 2025, more than 3,000 cyclists, runners, walkers, spin class riders, and volunteers came together at UC San Diego’s RIMAC Field in La Jolla for the Curebound Cancer Challenge. The event, which was formerly known as Padres Pedal the Cause, raised an incredible 3.3 million dollars to support cancer research at six leading local institutions.

Leucadia Cyclery was proud to serve as the main repair sponsor for the event. From the moment the first riders arrived until the last participant crossed the finish line, our team made sure bikes were safe, tuned, and ready to roll. We provided on-the-spot repairs, gear adjustments, and encouragement to help every rider complete their challenge.
