Since our founding in 2015, Root has proudly supported Pelotonia, joining thousands of cyclists each year who ride an intense number of miles all to raise money for critical cancer research. Over the past decade, Root teammates have raised more than $400,000 in support of life-saving research, with every dollar going directly to the cause. Whether riding, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, we're incredibly proud of the dedication and impact our team members deliver year after year. Thank you to everyone who represented Root this weekend. Enjoy this look at our 10-year anniversary team jerseys. #Pelotonia
