(NECN) - It was another astounding year for the Pan Mass Challenge, which saw over 5,000 riders participate in the 30th anniversary of the event, which raises money to fund cancer research.

No matter the start or end point, every rider, volunteer and roadside cheerleader contributed to another step in the fight against cancer.

Some of the sights and sounds of this year's Pan Mass Challenge can be viewed in the video player above.
