Babson served as host of the Wellesley-Weston PMC Kids Ride on Sunday, May 31, 2009.

The Campus Adventure Route sponsored by Boston Sports Clubs was an extended 1-¼ mile loop on the Babson and Olin campuses for riders ages 6 to 1. 

The Road Challenge Route sponsored by Volante Farms was a 3 ½  mile off-campus route from the main entrance gate of Babson College, down Forest Street to Central Street to Great Plain Avenue and then back to Babson through the Olin Campus. 

PMC Kids Rides became an official PMC program in 2005 as a way to include young cyclists in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge mission – raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The program engages youth in philanthropy, instills the value of working for the benefit of others, and promotes athletic fitness and physical activity.

The PMC Kids Rides Program offers children, parents, and neighbors an opportunity to work together to create individual bike-a-thons in neighborhoods, at schools, or in business complexes. These rides enable children between the ages of 3 and 15 to ride their bikes and solicit sponsors to donate money to cancer research.
