Join us for our annual charity fundraiser for Ups 'n' Downs on Sunday, 19th July. Every pound raised will make a huge difference to children and adults with Down syndrome. Come and help us celebrate 20 years of the charity with our Riding for Ups 'n' Downs ride. With over £110,000 raised for the Northamptonshire charity since we started, this year promises to be even bigger and better, marking another milestone in this charitable endeavour. When we started in 2015, there were only 34 of us, and we rode 90 miles. Since then, we have gradually increased in number and encourage as many riders, of all abilities, to come and support us, but most importantly, to enjoy themselves.
About the event
Join us at Kettering Town Football Club (Polwell Lane, Burton Latimer, Northants, NN15 5PS) on Sunday 19th July. We now have 3 amazing route options (100, 60 and 25 miles) starting and finishing at the same location.
The 100 mile route - “The Poppy".
The 60 mile route - “Dylan’s Dash”.
The 25 mile route - “Charlie’s Challenge”.
Our charity members, Dylan and Charlie, will be supporting us all on the big day as usual. Give them a wave and a smile at the stops. Riders will have a warm welcome home as we celebrate your arrival back at the Club. Indulge in a scrumptious BBQ, be entertained by live music, and participate in a variety of activities suitable for the entire family to enjoy!
