The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2025: A Record Year, Global Triumph for Men’s Health

Founded by Mark Hawwa, the DGR has grown into the world’s largest charity motorcycle event, supported by Triumph Motorcycles for the 12th consecutive year. The event’s global reach and community spirit have supported Movember’s effort for 10 years in 2025, marking an impressive milestone of the event’s impact on men’s health.

“Every year, our community unites to raise critical funds and awareness to prostate cancer and men’s mental health.” says Mark Hawwa, Founder of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. “To see over 125,000 riders take to the streets in more than 1,000 cities around the world is nothing short of extraordinary. We’ve reached incredible milestones together. 2025 marks 10 years of support from Movember, and with their partnership, we’ve been able to include men’s mental health alongside prostate cancer. It’s inspiring to witness how far we’ve come—and it’s all thanks to the dedication of our riders, hosts, and supporters who continue to make this movement matter.”

2025 also celebrates 10 years of partnership with luxury helmet makers, Hedon, who create unique helmets to reward 100 of the event’s top fundraisers, with support from CMSNL, ELF Lubricants, Quad Lock & BRETT Eyewear. Donations are still open with fundraising officially closing on 1st June 2025 for all prize competitions.

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$45M for prostate cancer research and men’s health since 2012.
