113,000 Riders, 105 Countries, 959 Cities, US$7.6M Raised.

The global motorcycling event, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, has concluded its phenomenal goal of riding side by side on the same day in 105 countries around the world, all in the name of men’s health.

Since it first began as a jaunt around town in 64 cities, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride for 2024 now makes its mark in 959 cities, raising an inspiring grand total of over US$52 million for men’s health.

With the 2024 event officially concluded, the annual charity motorcycling event has raised over US$7.6 million, making this the biggest year yet for raising funds and awareness for men’s health. The impressive amount has been accumulated by over 113,00 riders, who have donned their dapper attire and fired up their vintage inspired motorcycles, united in their common goal to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men’s mental health on behalf of charity partner, Movember.

Since its inception, the men’s health motorcycling event has been dedicated to raising funds and awareness of prostate cancer. Its mission was to use classic styles of motorcycles, paired with dapper style, to unite motorcyclists around the world for a vital cause. Since 2016, the event has partnered with Movember, who has continued to invest the funds raised into prostate cancer programs and research and also introduced the connection to men’s mental health. 2024 has marked a very special occasion, as the event celebrates 11 years of partnership with iconic motorcycle brand, Triumph Motorcycles.

“It is inspiring to see so many distinguished gentlefolk riding side by side in The 2024 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride,” says Founder and Director of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, Mark Hawwa. “We have ridden with each other on the same day all around the world since 2012. Our community is one that comes together, despite borders and oceans, riding side by side to raise increasingly critical funds and awareness for men’s mental health and prostate cancer. Each year our causes become even more important. I’m proud to be able to bring over 112,000 riders around the world together for 2024 to raise the profile of men’s health in true dapper style.”

Partners Triumph Motorcycles continued their global support of the charity motorcycling event by rewarding the event’s highest fundraisers with brand new modern classic motorcycles. Reserved for the highest fundraiser of 2024 will be a celebration of one of the most iconic Triumph models ever made, The Thruxton 1200 Final Edition.

Hedon Helmets, ELF Lubricants, and Quad Lock will also be reward riders in the classic inspired charity event, with Consolidated Motor Spares (CMSNL.com) having joined as the newest global sponsor for 2024, further rewarding the efforts of this year’s fundraisers.

While riders have now taken off their helmets for another year of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, sights are firmly set on 2025 to dress dapper and ride.

The date for DGR 2025 has already been earmarked for Sunday the 18th of May, 2025. So if you missed out this year, and would like to join in the world’s biggest charity motorcycling event, mark your calendars now!

About The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health. 

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia in 2012 by Mark Hawwa. After inspiration from a photograph featuring classic suits and vintage motorcycles, Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of motorcyclists and connect the global motorcycling community and to raise funds for a cause important to every rider. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has raised over US$52M for prostate cancer research and men’s health since 2012. For more information, visit www.gentlemansride.com.
