DGR 2025: The most distinguished ride ever

It was near-impossible to miss the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) this year. That’s because the event saw dapper riders out in their biggest numbers since the event’s inception.

Over 125,000 suave and sophisticated participants took part in rides in over 100 countries. Heads turned across major cities in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia. And even pockets of the world as far-flung as Iceland, Curaçao, Suriname and Gibraltar.

But at the heart of all this sartorial flair sits a deeper meaning. And that meaning is that men’s health matters. It’s why those who took part started their engines - along with countless conversations around prioritising men’s health; many even opening up about their own cancer journeys.

Founder and Director of DGR, Mark Hawwa, had this to say: “The number of riders were a sight to see in cities all over the world. Vintage and classic style biked bikes rolled out in full force, and the community showed up stronger than ever for prostate cancer and men’s mental health as we ring in 10 years of supporting (official charity partner) Movember.”

Since 2012, the event has raised over $59M USD for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research. And while the dust has settled on 2025’s ride, it’s not too late to donate at http://www.gentlemansride.com.
