Our Tour de Gateley charity cycling event is set to return on Thursday 14 September, in support of SportsAid.
The routes will start from the magnificent Walton Hall, near Stratford-upon-Avon, and take you in to the heart of the beautiful Cotswold countryside. There is an option to ride 50 miles or 70 miles. The circular routes will include refreshments and lunch and will finish with hospitality provided against the backdrop of the striking 16th-century country manor. Medical support and mechanical support for cyclists will also be provided on the day.
The entry fee for the ride is £50 and all fees will be donated to SportsAid, a charity partner of Gateley.
All entry fees for this year’s event will be donated to SportsAid. In 2022 we raised an impressive £3,000 for the charity and hope to beat this total at this year’s event.
The charity supports over 1,000 athletes each year – the vast majority aged 12 to 18 – by providing them with a financial award to help towards training and competition costs.
The charity’s extensive alumni stretch across the generations with Emma Raducanu, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sir Mo Farah, Sir Steve Redgrave, Laura Kenny CBE, Ellie Simmonds OBE, Adam Peaty MBE, and Tom Daley, having all received SportsAid awards. The charity’s impressive track record was highlighted at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games with 186 medals (57 gold, 59 silver and 70 bronze) won across 20 sports. The charity’s recipients contributed to 68% of the podium finishes delivered by the Home Nations during 11 days of world-class action.
Highlights from Tour de Gateley 2022
“Just a note to say thank you for arranging such a superb day yesterday – it was so well organised and a really enjoyable ride, even if that last hill nearly did it for me! Congratulations as well for the money raised for SportsAid.”
Sophie Hallett-Jones Commercial Director, Wright Industries
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you guys for sorting a really fantastic sportive yesterday. Everything was perfect from the arrival admin to the mid-ride feeds, safety and mechanics etc. and those fab pizzas and ‘sundowner’ beers at the end at Sandon Hall just topped off a great day! It must take a huge amount of effort and prep to pull off an event like this – and to raise funds for the next Emma Raducanu makes it even more worthwhile.”
Simon Hunt, Director, Savills
