What is the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride?
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is an event where men and women gather in their finest attire to ride classic and custom motorcycles to raise funds for prostate cancer research and support men's health charities. There are DGR events in 100 countries, with over 150,000 participants each year.
The DGR is a global ride that takes place on the last Sunday of September.
Why the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride?
Men often hesitate to discuss health issues, but prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, so it's important to talk about it. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is a fun way to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research. All the money raised through registration fees goes directly to men's health charities. In addition to prostate cancer, DGR raises funds for other issues that affect men, such as testicular health and mental health.
The DGR was founded in 2012 in Sydney, Australia, and has since grown into a global event with events in 100 countries worldwide.
