Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Will Take Place in Over 1000 Cities Worldwide
The iconic annual Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride returns in 2025 and it will take place in over 1000 cities globally
The 2025 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR), which sees participants don vintage-style clothing for a series of fundraising rides, will take place in more than 1000 cities worldwide on 18 May, with Triumph returning for a 12th consecutive year as the official partner.
The 2025 edition of the annual event, which is entering its 13th year, is expected to be the biggest one to date, according to organisers.
A variety of goodies will be available for the best performing DGR fundraisers, while Triumph is offering the chance for someone to win a brand-new model from its modern classic range.
Additionally, other items that can be taken home for the top contributors include MotoGP VIP experiences and Hedon helmets.
Movember is the primary recipient of money raised at the DGR event and that has been the case for the last decade, with the charity’s work focusing primarily on men’s health issues.
DGR also has a Veteran and First Responders initiative that focuses on support for community-based programmes, which are aimed at providing better support for veterans and first responders across the United Kingdom, Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland.
“We knew we needed to do more for men’s health,” said Mark Hawwa, Founder of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. “That’s why we partnered with the world’s largest men’s health charity, Movember, and with Triumph Motorcycles. We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of all our partners and enabling us to support men’s health on a global scale, in supporting the critical causes of prostate cancer and men’s mental health. Together with our community, we are proud to continue riding dapper for men’s health."
Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud, added: “This is Triumph’s 12th year as Official Motorcycle Partner for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, which brings riders around the world together to raise awareness and funds to support men’s mental and physical health. Every year the DGR gets bigger, reaching and involving even more men and women across the world, in a way that represents the best aspects of our global motorcycle community, giving each of us the opportunity to help our fellow gentlemen.”
In the UK there are 69 towns and cities set to host the DGR event and riders can sign up now at gentlemansride.com.
