Tom’s Big Bike Ride

This summer, 19-year-old Tom Dunlop—eldest son of Harry Dunlop—will embark on an extraordinary challenge for his gap year. Setting off from Newton Abbot Racecourse on Sunday 27th July, Tom will cycle over 2,600 miles solo, visiting all 60 Great British racecourses, finishing at Newbury on Thursday 28th August.

This gruelling, self-navigated journey aims to raise £60,000 in support of the Injured Jockeys Fund and to contribute towards a hydrotherapy pool for The Beehive, a day care centre in Dorset supporting his godmother’s son Ollie, who has Angelman’s Syndrome.

Tom is calling on racecourses across the country to support him in any way they can—whether that’s a charity collection on race day, a mention in the racecard with a QR code to his fundraising page, or a shoutout on social media. In return, Tom will ensure every course is featured prominently on his social media throughout the journey.
