Bedmax Newmarket Heath Ride in aid of Racing Welfare

This year’s Bedmax Newmarket Heath Ride in aid of Racing Welfare will take place on Sunday 17th September.

The Newmarket Heath Ride is a sponsored ride which offers the chance for participants to ride over 8, 15 or 20 mile routes across Newmarket’s hallowed turf.  Starting and finishing at the July Course, the event is made possible by the support and kind permission of The National Stud, Newmarket Racecourses and Jockey Club Estates.

This ride gives you access to some of the best turf in Newmarket. Follow in Frankel’s hoofprints with a blast along the mile long Al Bahathri all weather gallop. Like last year, we have combined the ticket price and sponsorship into one fee, with no additional sponsorship money required unless you choose to fundraise. Richard Weller-Poley will be onsite to capture your memorable moments along the ride.

Bookings open on Monday 17th July. Spaces are limited so we recommend booking in early to avoid disappointment.
