Carter Jonas LandAid Pedalthon

The race is on for cyclists to secure their place in this year’s Carter Jonas LandAid Pedalthon, the annual Yorkshire charity cycling event for the UK property and business community.

Now in its fourth year, the 2017 ride will take place on Friday 12 May and once again raise money for LandAid, the property industry charity working to end youth homelessness in the UK.  Last year’s ride raised more than £15,000 for the charity – a target Carter Jonas hopes to exceed this year. 

Supported by independent Yorkshire brewer, T&R Theakston Ltd, the ride will start and end at the historic Theakston brewery in Masham and take in part of the iconic Tour de France route. Riders will again be given the choice of two rides – the 80 mile challenge or a 40 mile social ride - through the picturesque Yorkshire landscape. Organised by Iconic Cycling Events, last year’s event attracted more than 300 riders, including teams from more than 70 companies from across the UK. 

LandAid currently supports 27 projects in the UK including five in Yorkshire where there are more than 32,000 families and individuals homeless or at risk of becoming so. Money raised will be used to help renovate empty or derelict properties, bringing them back into use as safe, affordable homes.
