Matt Wake Takes on Two Challenges in 2023
Following on from The Great North Run and The London Sprint Triathlon in 2022, Matt is taking on two challenges for 2023! Matt obtained his space in The London Marathon via ballot which is amazing and is raising funds for Cancer Research UK. Matt is forever grateful for all the support of family, friends and work mates and as he is 'lucky enough' to be able to try and give a little back.
1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, which is why I’m raising money for Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work.
The London Marathon:
RideLondon100:
A celebration of all things cycling, the Ford RideLondon-Essex 100 will next take place on Sunday 28 May 2023 and is ideal for those seeking a tough but achievable challenge. The spectacular event will see cyclists of all backgrounds and abilities cover 100 miles on traffic-free roads through the heart of London and neighbouring Essex.
RideLondon was established by the Mayor of London in 2013 as a legacy event from the London 2012 Olympics, which saw Team GB dominate the medal table in cycling.
Over the years, the event has grown to feature a range of mass participation challenges for tens of thousands of riders of all ages and abilities, along with road races contested by the world’s best professional riders, broadcast live on the BBC.
Following a hiatus in 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic, we were delighted to see RideLondon return in 2022 with a fresh new look and routes spanning parts of Essex.
In January 2023, we were then delighted to announce Ford as RideLondon’s new title partner, marking the start of a three-year partnership that builds on the success of Ford’s role as presenting partner in 2022.
